Dear Amy: I'm a college student from the suburbs of San Francisco. I've been attending college in New York.
My best friend from school is coming to visit me this summer, and I couldn't be more excited! But, excitement aside, I do have concerns.
In a time where people of color, especially men, are having the police called on them for everything from waiting for a friend in Starbucks to taking a nap in a common area of a dorm building, I am worried about my neighbors' potential reaction to a man of color showing up in their predominantly white suburb.
