I’m a cashier, and it’s really strange just how easy it is to spot a criminal. It’s like they go out of their way to fit as many stereotypes as possible into their identity.

Someone tried to pay with fake bills earlier today at work, wearing a baseball cap, reflective glitter sunglasses, a leather jacket, and jeans, smelling of cigarettes talking in a heavy accent with a silent large guy following behind him, and pretending to not understand English even as he pulls fake bills out from a bulging pocket.

Like, wtf

    I think that’s the key to getting to bigots.

    Not:

    You’re falsely accusing people!

    They don’t give a shit about other people, but:

    You’re missing other criminals!

    Gets their amygdala all riled up
