I'd report him to his supervisor. I mean fuck, what if you happened to be black? Would he have refused to escort you around, because he doesn't want to serve a black person?
"Tradition" is just a word people use to make themselves feel better about being an asshole.

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. 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.  (January 11, 2018 at 1:34 pm)Catholic_Lady Wrote:You probably didn't notice it much, for whatever reason.

The word bed actually looks like a bed.

My wifes uncle and Auntie visited a while ago and ranted almost the whole time about foriegners, mainly Romanians and Pakistanis then they mentioned one incident and complained that one of "those people" complained that she was a racist! It seems they like to be racist but not called on it. You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid. Tinkety Tonk and down with the Nazis.

Similar thing here with relatives. We don't live in an ideal world where people who espouse overtly racist attitudes don't exist anymore.

Why doesn't he like black people?
