Napa wine train and spatial racism

[Waiting For Everyman]

13. Possibly so,

but since we weren't on that train, we don't know. What is reported are opinions, and probably not the opinions of all of the passengers, only some of them. It could be that the management of the train responded with refunds etc. out of public relations concerns regardless of who was deemed "right".

My point is that most often race is assumed to be the issue, when it isn't necessarily. And that is just as much of a distortion as denying that race is an issue when it actually is.

What I do know, of my own experience, is that there are some women I have encountered, black, white, all races, who are extremely loud and screechy whenever anything happens or is said, even when saying 'hello' to each other. They act like they are always at a football game, yelling over a touchdown.

Some people today are crude, loud, and obnoxious -- of all races. I don't like it any better from one than another.

(ps, I am a woman too.)
