At Yale University, a dormitory resident called the campus police on a black student who fell asleep in a common room.
At a Starbucks cafe in Philadelphia, an employee called the police on two black men who were waiting for a business associate.
And at a California Airbnb, a neighbor who thought she was witnessing a burglary called the police on three black guests as they were loading their suitcases into a car.

We Want to Hear From You Tell us what happened. How did it end?
Back in the 1990s, I was watching “Sex and the City” with my wife. I said, “That redhead actress playing Miranda, Cynthia Nixon, is obviously a lesbian.” My wife said she hadn’t noticed anything. I replied, “I can just tell.”
A number of years later, Ms. Nixon, now running for governor of New York, announced she was a lesbian.
What, if anything, would you have done differently?
I would have published my hypothesis about Ms. Nixon back then so you would have reason to believe me now.
