Perils of traveling as #WOC: *Every* time I line up for @Qantas Club I'm asked "#QantasClub member?" "Yes." "ARE YOU SURE?" Still yes.
Perils of traveling as #WOC: I'm travelling non stop for 2 months; different city every other day. Stopped for "random" search most times

@Qantas Will do when I land in next destination. Your staff need equity & diversity training in every city I've been to (in every state). -

@OtherSociology very sorry to hear though unsurprised. in Aus 3 yrs,never been "randomly searched" as many times anywhere else in the West -
@OtherSociology like yourself, every airport. Once when I looked unimpressed, official got stroppy & asked "do we have a problem then?" -
@Teesmarkahn That's awful. I've same experience: travelling through non-Western airports I've yet to be searched or humiliated by staff. :/ -
@OtherSociology agreed.Also the performance of power at airports-Goffman would be proud!(Trying to make light of a unpleasant situation :) ) -
.
@Teesmarkahn Yes! Been told to smile many times by awful airport staff during "random" checks. Tough#EmotionWork suffering racism calmly -
@OtherSociology agreed! Somewhere in me there's an auto-ethnographic exposition waiting to be written -
@Teesmarkahn Want to read this - do it! Also how do you heal? Sibling & I invented a drinking game: drink when I'm NOT stopped for search..
