..i understand the situation (and your genuine concern), but every inconvenience in this world isn't because of racism.

making assumptions based on your surroundings (which is what he did) isn't the smartest thing to do when people are trying to help you. the problem wasn't the language barrier/miscommunication. the real issue is that he took offense to someone giving him instructions that he didn't like.

*not sure if that info is clearly posted somewhere in that lobby, but it should be.

our studio is in a bldg that requires badging or sign-in for guest & deliveries during off-hours. i've seen quite a few similar scenarios play out in the same fashion because someone assumed that they were being profiled unfairly.

the truth is: that signage is required for the safety of everyone in the bldg.


*skatin' the rings of saturn*


..and miles to go before i sleep...
