    Nah, I’m saying people enforce rules like no phones on planes selectively based on their own personal biases. The biases that I personally witnessed weren’t against non-whites. It was different intersections but yeah it was situations where clearly the person would have been permitted if they were say, more conventionally attractive or had a more normative voice. I personally would speculate it would happen more to non-whites but in the locations I tend to fly from they already know systems of authority will treat them unequally so they police their own behavior more strictly than other groups or what is generally expected.

    I probably should fly more around Europe. I’ve heard there’s biases there but I haven’t spent enough time to see them play out firsthand.
