I've had my 1995 BMW 525 for 21 years.

If you hadn't told me I would never have known that I'm a racist.

"people automatically think the worst..."

Or trendy skeptics allowing the benefit of a doubt for its own sake. I imagine it depends on the narrative we want delivered....

Might as well stick around and see who comes out, and ask them what it means. If you're that curious.

Nevermind the fact that 1)White is as common a last name in the Boston area as you'll find and 2) Half of the guys with the last name White inevitably get nicknamed "Whitey".
