And earlier today, in Prêt à Manger, Gatwick Airport, I tried to buy a granola bar for £1. "Just take it," the guy said. "Can I pay contactless?" I asked. "I told you to just take it!" he said. I left the shop clutching the bar nervously. I'm suspicious some devilry is at work.https://twitter.com/propensive/status/1135001466937204737 …

Isn't it great to be a white man?
Well, it is of course, but in @djspiewak's case I think it's just that flights into Schengen from certain countries are sometimes treated as if they're domestic. Particularly if arriving from UK which has stricter immigration controls than Schengen.

Also, I believe that men are statistically more likely to be denied entry than women, but my experience of spending many hours in US secondary immigration is that the other people there are overwhelmingly non-white, and they get a much harder time than I ever do.

My Latina wife gets shunted into there every entry, and treated as second class, despite being a permanent resident. It's disgraceful.

I was coming from the US both times. That’s what makes it particularly bizarre.
