Moment of Zen #2 Midwest Repub upbringing, married immigrant’s daughter. She would come home talking of subtle racism…clerk not helping, store security following her; I wrote off to sensitivity, like most ignorant, race-entitled Repug’s. When people thought she was our kid’s nanny, it seemed funny.
