The ONLY people I see hanging around subway turnstiles, waiting to grab someone's Metro card or jump the turnstile are BLACKS. I make sure to go through the turnstile which is farthest from these do-nothing predators. Rather than get a job and then buy their own Metro card, they prefer to prey on others who work.
