I guess I won't be going.
I can take the hint.
This Non POC is Persona Non Grata.

I'm Ok with it. I'm used to it. Nothing new.

Because you were totally going to go otherwise, right Dan?

And yes, you're totally used to it. Oh woe is you, the poor oppressed white man. Do tell us about the systemic racism you experience on a daily basis so we can know what it's like to walk a mile in your New Balances. How many times did your neighbors call 911 on you this week because you existed as a white man in public and they felt threatened?

Fully grown men have to.

I wear a 12.5 EEEE .

New Balance is the only company that makes shoes that fit. All other companies discriminate against people of wide feet.

We need to stage a protest.

LOL! Stereotype! Yeah. My daughter, black, wears varied NB's faithfully.

She runs [[even some short marathons), hikes a bit and aerobically exercises. And knows the difference between style/street wear [[store-front Nike's) and shoes for her level of exercise!

You get one pair of feet, and back!
