Here's something Bernie Sanders appears not to understand.

[MineralMan]

65. Exactly. Nobody follows me around in stores,

expecting me to shoplift. Nobody crosses to the opposite side of the street if we're both walking on the sidewalk. Nobody assumes that I am ignorant or stupid, even if I am dressed in shabby clothing. Nobody suspects me of being a burglar if I walk down a street where i don't live. Nobody assumes I am the janitor in some place. If they mistake me for a salesperson, that's a different thing.

I don't notice that those things don't happen, simply because they never happen to me. I think about such situations, because I have heard others talk about that kind of treatment directed at them. I'm only aware of those things because I have heard others' stories. I'm automatically immune from such behavior because I'm a white guy.

Now, I have been ignored when I have entered a store that caters to wealthy people, but that's not the same thing. Not the same thing at all. All I have to do to be accepted there is put on a nice suit and I'm more than welcome and get catered to.
