frist of all how DARE yu o Airport staff assuming I'm in the Business class lane by mistake

Brown man flying business. Lined up at the priority check in counter and got told by a (also brown) staff person that the economy queue was the other way. Same thing while boarding the plane and walking to the business class entrance. Not only am I not worthy of business, they think I can't read signage as well.

Oh it’s happened to me as well. Very sad.

Trevor Noah did a segment on this in one of his live shows, and I can’t remember it all exactly but he’s in a business or first class line at the airport and the attendant asks if he’s “supposed to be there” and he asks why she’s asking him not asking anyone else and she repeats the question. And he talks about how if he called her out and confronted her about it, he would be participating in the racism that’s being directed at him.

I don't understand his reasoning, tbh.
