...I pulled in to dodger stadium to check on tickets for today's supercross ..and he said that I would have to pay for parking, buy a ticket, & then get the $20 back upon leaving ..well, I don't have $20 cash & they don't take credit card for parking so I asked if I could park & walk ..and he responded "NOT ON OUR PROPERTY..."  and I knew beforehand that it would be a Latino fellow in this booth ...the Latinos or Mexicqan-Americans have an extremely strong sense of entitlement & even "kownership" of dodger stadium ..ahe says "OUR PROPERTY" re dodger stadoum , presuming greater entitlement to anybody coming in, & perhaps especially a "white boy" (which is how a lot of these guys think of us.) ..its not the firsyt time I've experienced it ..and its ironic b/c he's assuming I'm some "stupid white gearhead punk" ...but I've certainly been to more dodger games than him ...(inside the stadium that is) ..I could live in Los Angeles until I'm 100 and drive up to this gate & be treated like white trash from garbageville USA  by any random Mexican on my 100th birthday
