> It seems unlikely that this had anything to do with _where_ you purchased the backpacks. How would they even know? If it was a reaction to the backpacks at all (maybe this was just an unpleasant or grumpy group of women) then it was presumably because of the backpacks themselves. Maybe they don’t approve of _Suicide Squad_.

Yeah–that’s what I was thinking, both that it might be just some unpleasant women or that they might disapprove of Harley Quinn.

And, well, you are Roma, and anti-Roma prejudice does still exist, unfortunately. Stupid shit like thinking you must’ve stolen them or something.
