I was pulled over in high school for having a black friend in my car. I quote the officer here: "Don't let the sun set on the ni**ers ass or you both will see what happens." This was in Kansas in the 80s. To this day it blows my mind. It was the first and only time I experienced blatant racism like that but it has kept me mindful that not all people look at people like I do. You breath, bleed and have the basic human needs, you are human deserving of the same respect I expect. I have never encountered an alien so not sure if they breath, bleed and want the same things, though I would approach them with the same expectations.
