Living in Philadelphia I can tell you that what she is touching on is class separation in the city. In Philadelphia, She is right, there should not be a situation where you go into a neighborhood and severed differently based on the racial demographic of the neighborhood. We are not criminals. I would, pay all my bills and expect to be treated like a person. Not like a criminal getting papers through 3 sheets of bullet proof glass. Its crazy on the faze of it. I live in a decent neighborhood. All of our households make 100k+ a year easily.. The very makeup of the individuals here has prompted a huge overreation in stores and shops. Its weird.

No one is attacking white people and not everything is about white men. Please stop. We are saying that we don't like how we are being treated in our neighborhood and that is what she is responding to. The city is obligated to make sure these neighborhoods are safe and our police for is responsive. You are at no more risk around us than anywhere else because of your preconceived notions of us.   The stores are just as safe here as anywhere with less black people.

Please don't internationalize this as some sort of attack against you. Believe me when I say this largely doesn't affect white store owners so really this isn't an anti white thing. Just listen.  A lot are you are offended for no reason.  

So, how do you feel about this?:

“Most of our businesses are in not-as-safe neighborhoods,” Adam Xu, the chairman of the Asian American Licensed Beverage Association of Philadelphia told the Inquirer.

Philadelphia is ranked 11th in terms of highest robberies in captical cities. Maybe you’ve always felt safe there but statistics show that Philadelphia is not safe. Maybe bulletproof glass is not classy but if it’s ensuring the safety of people and saving lives then why not?
