Security minded types might still stop you, especially since these are the kind of well-known scenarios that might get used in security training.
You want invisible? Be female, 40+, short but otherwise average build, any skin colour but white, black hair, generic cleaning staff outfit, and one of those carts with mops and buckets. Now you're invisible (racist, classist, and misogynistic biases exist, might as well use them).
(As a 2m tall person I can't blend in anywhere.)

- dumpsterdiver 3y agoI don't think it's racist, classist, or misogynistic to make an observation. You yourself made this observation, and I didn't detect the slightest hint of racism or misogyny from your report even though it described a very specific marginalized group. On the contrary, to your point, the reason they are "invisible" is because we are used to seeing exactly what you describe.
