I've played this similar game of chicken on the sidewalks, because my perceived whiteness usually isn't enough to make a White person move out of my way. And if my physical wellness is safe enough, I'll let them run into me. I often remind myself, here in my New England town, that I don't need to move my body for White people when I'm out running errands. The amount of time I remind myself about this is quite stunning actually, now that I think about it.
