I've been stopped on the street by uniformed police and asked to produce
my ID, and in broad daylight to boot.

I've gone into stores to buy varies pieces of high-priced gear and noted
how eager the helpstaff were to be of service to me rather than leave me
unattended.

Being white is no bar to not only being able to understand these things,
but to experience them.
