Seems to happen around PSU the most, and no...just a plain T from Old Navy and a pair of cargoes. I guess I can remember one day I was wearing a nice shirt and tie, there some one was following me around asking if I was "The Man" and what I had on them.

I think by far the worst is when I was accused of being in a conspiracy against Muslims by blaming her for hitting my wife's car...it didn't faze her that her bumper was still embedded in the car when she started screaming it. She also tried it on the cop (who was Black) and the insurance adjuster (who was Hispanic), who were both underwhelmed.

It's life, not much you can really do but shrug at it anymore.

Thats your problem right there. They probably meant you were an "organic cotton" racist. Don't you know your shirts should be made from only sustainable locally grown organic cotton to be walking downtown? I'm surprised you didn't have red paint thrown at you.
