    How many times would it have to happen to you before it got old and you stopped being okay with it?

      I don’t know. That was 20 years ago. We only lasted about a year, and that happened just once. I can see how it could be annoying, but again, it’s not like they’re pulling me over for “driving while brown.” There’s a genuine concern about human trafficking.

      If my annoyance helps innocent people from being trafficked, I’m reluctantly okay with it.

        You do not want to cross the bride. Don’t do that. Though, seriously, that’s no good for anyone who it has already gotten very old for and that people are explaining away the feelings of.
