I think dress is one factor. Age, height, are they in a group, and if so, what do the other members of the group look like -- they all have an effect. But, I don't think you can deny that race is a factor also, independent of all the other factors. I don't think that's ever gonna change, either. I don't believe people outside the U.S. are immune from considering race as a factor in judging whether someone is a threat or out for mischief. The world is filled with race wars and racial conflict and tension. For a German, say, it might not be a black person, but it could be a gypsy or arab that elevates their sense of risk.
