White people don't have the luxury of traveling with a bookbag to keep all of our daily essentials. We have items which must be properly secured, like laptops, law briefs, and the widgets we sell. So, of course, running for a train with all of these valuables (and our Doc Martin's) makes us more in danger of serious injury.
We like to work our tails off to the point of exhaustion, and so we can show everyone else just how important we are white folks run and push those lower on the socioeconomic scale out of the way (that road can wait to be dug up) as we slice through the train station to catch our Amtrak along the Northeast Corridor.
Minorities generally only travel regional rail because they can't afford Amtrak, and if they miss their train will pobably just skip work for that day just like they bailed on post-required education.
So, white folks take heed, next time you are running to a train, wear your running shoes, because you could get hurt. Oh and don't forget to make it known how necessary your attendance on that train is.
