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
I would've probably done the same thing you did, to be honest. Social psychology's an ass.
If he had been more aggressive saying stuff like "fuck black people, I hate their ass", or kept repeatedly saying he doesn't like being served by black people, then response would've been different.
