One thing every non-white person in America knows: When someone who looks like you does something wrong on TV, some people are going to take it out on you. It’s usually not intentional, but if, for example, you’re the only black person they know and they see a vicious black crime suspect on TV, some part of their brain is going to think of you. It works the other way too. I used to have a boss who treated me really nicely whenever I dressed like Tiger Woods.
