Absolute nightmare of an experience at Brussels airport passport control. Likely getting profiled because the birthplace on my French passport says Turkey and the chip isn’t working (which is why I was in the manual control lane to begin with).

The joys of being white passing in racist countries. You’re fine until they see you might be a bit too Brown inside.

Now sitting in a room with other Brown and Black folks, waiting (and they have my passport).
