      So... That Italian economist story. Wow. Doing calculus while racially ambiguous. There's so much to unpack. Too much, really.

      I'm troubled by some of the writing. "... with dark, curly hair, olive skin and an exotic foreign accent..." Don't write that shit.

      Foreign accent I just. Don't do that. All of us have an accent. And the whole olive skin thing. The way people write about skin is gross tbh

      That almost as bad as like writing "she had straight, yellow hair and mayonnaise skin." That would never get into WaPo.

          There's also the question of, if someone is Italian with darker skin and is profiled... What do we do w that. Is he now a person of color?

          I tend to think European economists have a ton of privilege yet I don't want to deny what happened on that flight.

          Anyway. The fact of the matter is that white woman was scared. And also apparently never even took calculus, I guess. Or heard of it.

          What in the entire fuck went through her mind? Like she really thought you can, what, cast a spell on a piece of paper and down a plane?

          That's the thing too: the tendency to group a whole bunch of different people together. Even an Italian with a suntan in the mix now too.

          And then there's the whole math thing. 2+2=4. Yes an equation's more complicated but... Everyone solves it for the same exact answer.

          Math. Straight up math. It's objective. You may have a subjective opinion that 2+2=5.8 but you'd be wrong. Except in this case.

          In this case, a white woman's ignorance of math and fear of dark skin made it so that 2+2=plane hijacker.

          So this woman's ignorant, racist as fuck subjective opinion won. It won over objective as objective get mathematics.

          Which goes to the broader point of objectivity. And whether anything can ever be objective if a person with darker skin is involved.

          And the answer is no. Whites never assume we can be objective about anything. It's an unconscious bias assumed against people of color.
