Man, I can get stuck on any step...
Like Step 1?
The man with the book had had enough schooling to know that things can be complicated...could he get into all that in three panels? He'd already wasted the first panel on light banter. Hmm...

The man with the book had gotten caught up this morning with how to identify himself--or if to--and to what purpose. He found a 2010 CNN article where an American from the Middle East was advocating to,"Check it right; you ain't white!" The whole history of identification is interesting, fraught.
For all intensive purposes I'm white--meaning I get treated as white because of how I look, but my name?? And my dad IS from the Middle East and...
...and don't you have an application to fill out? I think if you don't start finding THAT "interesting", you're going to be "fraught" between a rock and a hard place.
