Please Don’t Pet Me

I’m not your dog — I was out with a guy. It was my first real interracial dating experience. We were sitting side by side, and his arm was around my shoulders. For a while, I had been primarily keeping my hair braided underneath a scarf. But that day, I was feeling a bit spicy…
