There is only one Muslim state (Saudi Arabia) where it is illegal for women to drive. This seems like more of a Saudi thing than a Muslim state thing.

How are you going to get anything done when you're being stopped by street style photographers on every block?

I am 5' tall so whatever is meant to be calf length on other people is full length on me. I've legit bought capris that turned out to be normal pants on me in the past.

My closet says the trend is "fur". As in, "covered in cat fur".

These trends worked for me! I wore flats (sneakers), a hat (woolly), and underwear, and have some zippers on my jeans (one per pair)! Also, my sweat pants are tea length if I roll them up some!

It did not have a special grippy holder bit. And when I had to count & check the drugs, I had no red pen with which to do…

I don't know what to do with this essay. I really don't. Honestly, it seems hurtful. I'm not sure how to be a white person who isn't troubling to you. There doesn't seem to be an answer to that.

If I were trying to give "good white people" the benefit of the doubt, I'd tell myself that the things they say are meant for "bad white people"- said in order to let racists know that racism is not normal, it is in fact unacceptable, and that racists are not the majority.
