This isn’t even that big of a step from before. Went abroad with a white passing friend named Alejandro YEARS ago. When we came back, it was made clear that US customs had a quick line and a brown line, and my friend was in the latter. I was through in 10 minutes or less, wondering what happened to my friend, who was told he wasn’t allowed to use his phone, for the better part of an hour
