I keep thinking of my dad, who's about six months older than Gates, and also a professor. NO WAY would the cops be called on him, and if they were, it would be "what's the problem, sir, can we help?" Because my dad is Mature White Man. Not OMG SCARY BLACK MAN (five feet tall and walking with a cane.)
