Last winter, while waiting for friends on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, I wandered in and out of the boutiques on Madison Avenue. I could feel eyes on me, following me, my big Afro, hoop earrings and even bigger book bag.
I went into a coffee shop — a place that specializes in espresso. It was full of white men and women laughing and chatting. I took a seat at the counter and the barista asked for my order.
“An espresso,” I replied. He didn’t budge.
“Are you sure you want a cup of espresso?”
“Yes,” I said.
He went behind the counter and grabbed a cup. “Are you sure?” he asked again. “Do you know that it comes in this small cup?”

This is an article explaining why people want to run away from "racism" in New York. She seriously thinks that someone following up to ensure that she wants an espresso is racist. I wonder what minority group I am in, because I get that about 1/4 times I ask for espresso.
