I mean, the people who robbed you have the same ethnicity as the majority of the people who live in the city where it happened. The people who will help you recover your sense of safety after this are also probably going to be the same ethnicity as the majority of the city where that part happens. That's just a function of math, not race. None of the isms are gonna help with the trauma.

From the perspective of another runner; don't ever run with your wallet. Even before I moved here I used to run in a secluded, wooded and safe area in the midwest and never carried a wallet or phone or earbuds. Honestly, the less you can run with the safer you are -- not just from robbery but from all kinds of randomness. The closest I've ever come to being mortally harmed on a run is when a giant deer running at full speed nearly obliterated me head-on on a trail because I glanced down at my watch instead focusing ahead on my route.
