I make snap judgments about the way people are dressed but I know when I'm making them that they're just supposition. If I'm walking my dog at night and some big burly gangsta type guy is walking towards me (not that that happens very much), I would probably cross the street. I don't know that they're up to no good but I take the better-safe-than sorry approach.

I don't want to rehash the Trayvon case necessarily but I see a big difference in exercising a little caution and truly believing that clothes or appearance are enough to ascertain someone's moral character or some criminal intent.
