Answer:

1. I'm very shocked and upset to see that someone of color, who was unarmed, got shot and is being told mean comments. Meanwhile, a white guy who is a murder suspect that is ARMED gets compliments and leniency.

2. Kao's message shows that the media displays color of people as criminals that are always evil. Meanwhile, with white people, the media displays them as someone who is an angel that made a "pure mistake."

3. 1- Labels of the two people. 2- drawings of the two people. 3- comments of the two people.

Step-by-step explanation:

3:

1- First, Kao labels the two people as "unarmed civilian" and "murder suspect." This gives some more context to the people as why they've been shot and whether it was justified or not.

2- Kao draws the pictures of the two people- one with color, one that's white. The unarmed civilian is shown with flowers in his hand and a peace sign. Meanwhile, the murder suspect has a body bag and a knife with blood on it. This shows that even with evidence shown that someone's bad, people still believe that people of color are always evil and white people are innocent.

3- Kao made comments of the two people showing one person get mean comments and other with nice comments. This shows that people of color, no matter what they did, get insulted. Meanwhile, the white people get compliments and grief from the people.
