Perils of traveling as #WOC: I'm travelling non stop for 2 months; different city every other day. Stopped for "random" search most times

@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. :/

@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..
