I was waiting in a self serving line in the supermarket, this African American woman in her 20s, well dressed, stand right next to me, then preceded to go to the opening of a self-serving register. I walked ahead of her telling here I was here first.
On her way out, she said "go home" to me. I didn't understand that at first thinking - go home to NYC? I was puzzled. Only after I got home than realized she thought I was from Asia.
This doesn't usually happen in this Pentagon City area. She could be from a predominately African-American area, where there are very limited racial diversity. In NYC, that would be the old Harlem.
Well, in that case, I could tell her to go home too. The only people I can't say this to is the American Indian.
