[quote=Anonymous]In 1994, I was driving home from my job at the mall around 9:30 pm when I got pulled over. I knew I hadn’t been speeding or doing anythig wrong, but I was really nervous because I had never been pulled over before. The cop comes up to the window as I’m rolling it down, leans down and peers at me, and says, “oh, sorry. I thought you were a black guy.” And walks away. I didn’t understand why he pulled me over or how the cop took me for a black man when I was a 16 year old white girl. I felt really weird about the situation but couldn’t figure out why at first. It didn’t occur to me back then that the cop likely saw my car - a 1983 light blue Delta - and assumed a black man must be driving and pulled me over for that reason alone. I always thought a cop pulled you over only if you were doing something wrong. [/quote]
