There were the shoe shiners who dropped their brushes as they walked by in an effort to rope us into expensive shoe shines and the cab driver who way overcharged us, pocketed extra money on top of that, then took us on a terrifying, expletive-filled ride when we asked for our change. Stuff like this happens to people of every race, but I’m sure me being black made the “we’re tourists!” sign over our heads a little brighter.
