I was recently working at a major airport, working "airside" on an IT job, so lots of security to go through, I needed to be escorted around. Part way through the day we stopped for a coffee at a major caffeine shop, while we were queueing, my guide said "let's move to the other queue, I don't want to be served by a black person" What should I have done? If I made a fuss, it would make my job very difficult as I needed him to take me around, if I kept quiet I would seem to be sharing his views.
In the end I chickened out and kept quiet but still feel bad about it

Never underestimate the power of very stupid people in large groups
Arguing with an engineer is like wrestling with a pig in mud ..... after a while you realise that the pig likes it!
