A Security White-Out

(Strangely, our university doesn’t have security. After the November 2015 Paris attacks, our university hires private and mobile security guards.)

Security Guard #1: “Student card, please?”

Friend: “No problem.”

(My friend shows her student card, and the security guard authorises her to go into the building.)

Friend: “You didn’t look in my bag?”

Security Guard #2: “No. Why?”

Friend: “You never know! Just because we are students, it doesn’t mean that we don’t want to blow up the university.”

Security Guard #2: “With you, we didn’t worry because you are white.”

([Friend] and [Security Guard #1] were shocked. [Security Guard #2] was fired.)
