[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Folks, I think it's entirely possible that OP was discriminated against in her court experience.  I think it's unfair to mock her for that because these things can happen. The problem is that no one knows for sure if that did happen. It may have been a coincidence or it may not.

What I find annoying is OP's tone and sense of victimhood.  Yes, racism can go both ways but it rarely goes against whites and when it does it's rarely about something of great import.  I don't know if I have experienced racism in some situations but the situations where it was clearly racism, it just had no impact on my life.  A crazy woman walking by describing me as a white bitch just doesn't affect me.  A kid calling me a white bitch from a bus is annoying but, seriously?  Not a problem.  And, as I have noted previously, I live in a majority black neighborhood so the pps making fun of Kate Spade-toting denizens of the upper NW doesn't affect me either.

So I don't know if it's possible but I want to put a vote in for acknowledging that OP may be right but also pointing out that she may have misinterpreted the situation and no one really knows except the judge.  But one way or another, we all know it's not something that white people deal with on a regular basis and for the vast majority of us, it doesn't put limitations on our ability to live our lives freely.
