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
Were YOU being tested ?
If so, you failed.
I think you have a valid point here. The story did not make sense to me.... a black PERSON is not a typical racist term. Also someone who has that kind of prejudice would have scanned the queue before getting in line - not letting a stranger know they have a racial bias because of the potential job impact. So yes I have to agree, it seems to have been a test.
