It's easier to fly under the radar when you act to blend in with your environment. If you went to an economics conference in cargo shorts, you are going to stand out. I am pretty sure that a lot of biases are towards how people dress and act rather than skin color, in this given situation. I've snuck into conferences before, generally there are so many people that as long as you are dressed the part and act appropriately you will not even be noticed. Many of the most prestigious economists in the world are people of color, so I have to say what he's saying is largely nonsense. Anyhow, MMT is a very popular thing right now, so it's obvious he would get attention regardless of his age, gender or race.
