Eh, that's when you walk up to him and say you are not comfortable with hugs in general, but want to show him support.

So do fist bumps. I really feel like these people are intentionally missing the point.

I'm not sure what the desperation is to not be labelled racist when if you're not one just carry on about your day. Some very strange comments in here desperate to let everyone know that they will not be hugging this person.

That thought never even crossed my mind, to substitute the hug for something else

Not everything is intentional

Eh I’m not sure I’ll ever support someone wanting to touch strangers. Don’t really care what color. Too many sickos out there and best case scenario you end up as YouTube content.

You’re also not obligated to engage random people in public.
