[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So it’s racism if people happen to be minorities... even if the “racist” didn’t know they were minorities? I think these kids could pass as white. They look like some of the really “weird” white kids I went to school with. And if I saw two guys show up late to an organized group somewhere wearing all black, death metal (or whatever) clothes, refusing to give names and just skulking around... yeah I might be suspicious or nervous too unless I knew the tour organizer had checked them off as signed up.  Would I call the cops? Probably not, but mostly because I am not assertive. But I would be whispering to DH and we might quietly leave.

I don’t think this woman did the right thing necessarily, but I don’t know that it was racism. Why wasn’t it sexist?[/quote]

The caller thought they were Hispanic, not white.  What does it mean to “just skulk around”?  Since when is wearing heavy metal T-shirts dangerous?  But really, go ahead and leave when faced with such a serious situation as sharing the tour with guys like these.  I wouldn’t mind.  Wish the caller had chosen that option also.[/quote]

One deliberately told her he was Mexican[/quote]
