…e take what I say seriously, even when I’ve wandered out of my depth and am basically bullshitting. Being white and male helps, speaking Standard American English helps more, and as I get older, I get even more credibility. If I wore a suit, I probably would get more credibility still. Just recently I was in a shoe store as a customer, and another customer ignored all the sales people (who were Asian women) and started asking me questions about the product — apparently because I was the only old white guy in the room.
