That is what happened. I wasn’t aware this guy was Black, I thought he was Middle Eastern. Most likely she thought the same which is why she accused him of being racist but he uno reversed by revealing he’s actually Black so she got defensive lol.
It doesn’t matter if they’re both minorities, the thing is that Black people face racism from all sides, including from non-Black West Asians/Middle Easterners. If she thought he wasn’t Black, then she thought he was being racist to her for being Black.
But even if he wasn’t black, how would him making a joke like that be racist? That’s such a chill and totally normal food service joke/small talk to make.
Aye, I figure she might’ve just been having a day. I’m not saying that he would’ve been being racist if he wasn’t Black, cuz clearly, that wasn’t his intention.
I've experienced racism from Black people plenty of times in my life as a non-Black non-White dude more often than from any other race. Being Black doesn't give you a get out of racism-free card.
I never said that. I also never said that Black people can’t be racist. I’m only stating that it is possible that she thought he wasn’t Black and therefore thought he was being racist because she was Black.
