    I have wrap-around sunglasses because my commute is north-south and I don’t like the sun coming into my eyes from the side.

    I’m also losing hair due to genetics.

    Apparently this makes me look like a bigot.

      I’m a middle-aged, southern, white dad who apparently also looks like I might enjoy some casual “locker-room talk,” and it makes some folks feel uncomfortably comfortable telling me their racist, sexist or otherwise terribly shortsighted views on the world.

      The only reason I’m not planning to wear a costume to tomorrow’s protest is because I want to make sure others see someone who looks just like them standing up against this nonsense.
