Posting in this thread only because I don't know where else.
I was sitting on a subway train with my wife today minding our own business on a
relatively empty car.
We were both wearing masks covering our mouths. Nobody sitting near us for at least several seats.
About a minute before the train was approaching a particular station, a middle-aged white man walks to the doors near us and utters "scum, scum" while looking at us.
I said, "sorry?". And he repeats while pointing at each of us in a quiet voice "one, two; scum, scum". He looked calculated and exuded hate.
It happens to be we were exiting at the same station, and then exited the station through the same exits at the same time. But no retraction.
My friends, these are our "enlightened" "intelligent" and "liberal" neighbors in NYC these days
