I grew up in Cambridge, and one time I went into a store and I forgot my money and they gave me the dress for free. When I was a teenager, I was driving with my friend who was an awfuldriver and she ran a red and of course, we got pulled over, and all it took was a "Sorry, officer," and we were on our way. And I got these free things because of how I look, not who I am, and there are people paying a cost for how they look and not who they are.

我在剑桥市长大，有一次我走进一家商店却忘了带钱，他们送了我一条裙子。十几岁时，我跟朋友一起开车，她是个糟糕的司机，闯了红灯，我们被停车，我只说了句：“长官，抱歉”，我们就继续上路了。我得到这些是因为我的外表，而不是我是身份。有些人为了他们的外表，而不是身份付出了代价。

 

 

 

 

 

I live in New York, and last year, of the 140,000 teenagers that were stopped and frisked, 86% of them were black and Latino, and most of them were young men. And there are only 177,000 young black and Latino men in New York, so for them, it's not a question of, "Will I get stopped?" but "How many times will I get stopped? When will I get stopped?" When I was researching this talk, I found out that of the 13-year-old girls in the United States, 53% don't like their bodies, and that number goes to 78% by the time that they're 17.

我住在纽约，去年有14万青年被停车搜身，他们中百分之86是黑人和拉美人，大多数是年轻的男孩子。而在纽约年轻黑人和拉美男性总数只有17万7千人。所以，对他们来说，问题不是：“我会被停车吗?”而是“我要被停几次?我什么时候会被停?”我在为这次演讲做调查时发现，在美国13岁女孩儿群体中，53%不喜欢她们的身体，到了17岁，这一比例上升至78%。
