Also, please bear in mind that I'm not advocating incest in any way. The fact, IMO, that it was necessary at those times in order to populate the planet does not mean it is condoned at all times. That is made pretty clear as you read the chapters following Genesis.

I also have addressed the point of a cop "looking out for their race" by attributing it to older generations and even small towns that feel like they are not enough of a part of mainstream society to keep up with the times.
I agree with what you have said. I also, as I mentioned, wish skin color could be just another attribute and that it exactly why I said it. Everything has to start somewhere. Why not here and now?

this battle is one that must go from the top and the bottom to the middle. and none of it starts with ignoring difference or problematic sociopolitical issues.

I was like WTF man ...
I was just wondering if people out there have had problems with being Asian and driving a car around that people here hate us for ... quite frankly this isn't the first time I got write up a ticket for some bull shiit reason ...

I just needed to vent ... if u know wat im talking about then drop a line ...

You shoulda asked him why he couldn't get a real assignment, like maybe at a crosswalk or something.

I don't think I would bother reporting it or trying to go to court. It is your word against his and you did break the law. Those covers and even just brackets are illegal here too. While I don't agree with the attitiude a few have expressed that you shouldn't be upset about it - I would chose my battles carefully and this seems like one you should just walk away from. Count your blessings that it didn't turn into a Rodney King style beating, or excessive verbal assault, or even just a ticket for something you didn't do. The most that will happen, I think, is the cop gets a slap on the wrist and you still have to pay the ticket.
Even still, if you decide to fight it, I understand the need to take a stand too. Who are we to judge what is worth fighting for and worth letting go? If it is going to keep eating at you then go right ahead. If someone had told Rosa Parks, "Hey, at least they are letting you on the bus - be glad you aren't being thrown off or beaten." we might still be several years back in progress in this country. I say let it go, but do what you think is right for you. Don't let anyone here change your mind.
