she's white. there was a picture of her in the story earlier. its been updated. or you can google her. i do not think her transit complaints carry less weight because she's white, i certainly hope mine don't because i'm white, but the basic point - ridership is probably close to 90% black stands. if you hopped on any bus or train to ask someone's thoughts and came away with only the perspective of a white millenial with a graduate level education you fucked up somehow.

Ah, the only pic I see is of people boarding a bus. I read the article and thought "relatable". What color her skin might be didn't really cross my mind because this is an every person who has to ride the bus story (or chooses to as many advocate for in lieu of cars). Google stalking her didn't cross my mind. Edit: because my grammar sucks sometimes.
