Clothes

It’s not the color of your skin the general public is looking at with suspicion, it’s dress style. Wear some baggy jeans, or khakis, a baseball or football shirt, some plain no name white tennis shoes with no shoe laces and walk through any shopping mall from La Mirada to the Beverly Center. Everybody will stare at you with odd looks like you came to rob the old people and shoplift from all the stores. I dress like that and I’m white and 55 years old and you wouldn’t believe the ugly looks I get when I go to a shopping mall.
