I am white and have a neutral accent, so when I walk out of a walmart or target, I am harassed by people saying "Are you a registered California voter?" trying to get my signature for some cause.
I noticed that they do not do this with anyone who is brown. They target only black or white folks.
The amusing thing is I am Canadian, and my wife no longer votes regardless of the situation. Whereas the latino woman with the 4 kids that they ignored/racially profiled is more than likely a citizen.
- food for thought.
