    Happy to see something done at least. Annoyed knowing they were likely accused, and investigated due to their skin colour. As per some family there, you absolutely do not go certain places without a white friend or friends. If you’re going out by yourself you do it on crowded days and make sure you’re seen on security cameras and make note of where and when. That way when you get accused, because you will be, you’re covered.

    For context they were born and raised in Switzerland, one of their parents was as well. The other parent moved there from North America and has since become a Swiss citizen about 40 years ago. The parent that moved is a visible minority and continues to have an adventure of a time.
