It was a sunshine Sunday. Lots of flowers, lots of green. I was taking pictures of my company’s building and its surrounding environments (flowers and trees) at the huge parking lot and a man with polo shirt (maybe security guard) walked out with his arms at his chest (30 feets away from me) and spoke with low voice “you are not allowed to take any picture of this property including anywhere outside”. I replied him “ok”. He then followed me with a walkie-talkie for a while until I crossed the street. He didn’t ask me to show employee badge. On weekdays, employees are not even required to badge in/out during the day. It’s a famous brand electronics company in Silicon Valley and I’m a young Asian female. Think about it, how come we can see companies’ buildings on TV news everyday?
People in this country have been brainwashed by the media that they believe all non-white are potentially having “terrorist act of some sort” or “spying”.
