Hot take debate on subway from @subwaytakes

Two men on a subway debate the cultural practice of labeling people as autistic. The first man argues that white people publicly "call out" autism, whereas other cultures like Latin and Arab cultures accept eccentric behaviors without labeling them. The second man initially disagrees but then concedes that white people tend to label anyone with "flare" as autistic, and they both humorously discuss the social implications and the spectrum of the condition.
