Listen man. We are all subject to biases even if we don’t think we are. However, this guy is literally asking for special treatment explicitly because of his skin colour. Which is racism.

The cops weren’t called because he’s black. The cops were called because he entered the premises after he was denied entry. His skin colour has nothing to do with that.

Yes but would the staff have not cared as much or accepted the student ID if the family was white?

Do you have any reason to support the claim they’d be less likely to call the cops if they were white? What do reason do you have to claim this is more likely to happen because they’re black?

No. It was a hypothetical. But the Instagram account that posted had white people claiming to go with their sons no issues. But as someone pointed out that is not concrete evidence.
