Here in the nice parts of the bay area my friend who is black is pulled over once a month because he drives a Lexus SUV, and the police don't believe that it's his car. They ask him "is this your car?" He'll reply, "yes," to which they always ask "are you sure?" Every month.


I can relate. I'm biracial and I'm stopped often with a branded company polo and they're always amusingly surprised to learn I work in IT but live in the ghetto.
