[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No, this is not about racism. This is about bigotry and/or prejudice -- assuming that you are correct, and that the reason the arbitrator did not dismiss your ticket is that you are white. (And of course, people are welcome to chime in and explain to you that even though you think that this is a clear example of bigotry, they know better, and there were actually well-intentioned, rational reasons for the arbitrator's behavior -- just as people usually do when other people talk about their personal experiences with racism, sexism, ableism, etc.)

Anybody can be bigoted and have prejudices. [b]But there is no such thing as racism against white people in the US.[/b] [/quote]Can we just address OP's issue without making pronouncements about whether people who are not white can be racist?  That's such a distraction from the issue.

OP, welcome to the world of African-Americans.  Maybe you were discriminated against because you were white.  Maybe there was another reason for your treatment.  You don't really know, do you?  It's stressful, isn't it?  Imagine having to deal with that all the time.

And if you were discriminated against for racial reasons -- which would have been absolutely WRONG -- [b]how often have you been in this situation since then?[/b]  Have you noticed it on a regular basis at work or at school or when you walk into a store? So, yes, if you were discriminated against (and we still don't know for sure if you were), that was wrong but on the whole being white is a big ticket to a better life  -- at least in not having to worry about your acceptance by those in power on a regular basis.[/quote]

Every nine years, apparently. OP, I am white and I am embarrassed by your post.[/quote]
