So - I'm white (duh), and something kind of weird happened on my drive back to college.

I was on I-90, and barely going over the speed limit (less than 5mph over), and was about to pass a car with an attached trailer. As I was about to do so I passed a state trooper, who proceeded to pull onto the highway as soon as I started to pass so I merged back to the right and promptly got pulled over. The incident went like this:

Me: Grabs license while friend looks for registration in glove compartment.

Officer: License and registration

Me: Gives license, still looking for registration.

Officer: Can you hear me alright? How do you say your last name, I want to make sure I address you correctly.

Me: Pronounces last name.

Officer: I pulled you over when I saw you veer back, were you having trouble seeing past the trailer?

Me: Yes sir.

Officer: That's good enough.

Then he left. Never did give him my registration. Now, I wasn't #crimingwhilewhite, but it was still an incident that I don't think would have went over quite as smooth if I wasn't white. Though pulling me over for that of all things was a bit odd to being with.

Can't even imagine having to endure incidents like that on a more regular basis.
