He either has an anger management issue or is racist. I'd just apologize and walk away.

you violated his bubble..... you got into his space and inflicted pain by scratching from your bag...
he was out of line... but you needed to appologize... but understandably you kept your distance as he flared up and he didn't give you that opporturnity to go back and try to make some restortution..
so... not much more you could have done, if you turned and went back and tried to appologize he might have goten angrier... or you could have turned around, "I'm sorry, it was an accident, anything I can do to correct this?" and see what would he reply, if verbal *^(*^*^)_*%%$ , then there would have been nothing more your could ahve done...
We all make simple mistakes, human.. I accidently cut someone off in traffic today, sometimes the simplist things taht they have all ready forgotten are eating at us... why? I dn't know but it serves no purpose on trying to fix something that is all ready gone and forgotten and unchangable... other then be a bit more careful and understand we are all human...
racist.. no... but he sounded like a foul mouthed bone head..

As long as he didn't physically threaten you, I think you should let it go. As a black female, I can't tell you how many times I've been followed around in shops just on the basis that some "racist" shopgirl thought I was going to steal something. And living in Chicago (USA, of course), those kinds of situations and the rudeness that ensues was escalated until I decided to move. People these days seem to want a reason to fight someone; I don't really think your ethnicity had anything to do with it. Seemed more like he was just ready to fight. It was hurtful and damaging in a way because you were not prepared to be attacked for not only being negligent, but for being Asian as well. Sometimes ignorant, violent people reach for the thing to say that they know will hurt, just to make the situation more "profitable" for them, meaning if he wanted a fight, and provoked you into one simply by calling you names, then he got what he wanted. It was good that you apologized and kept walking. That was the right thing to do. Now, just try to get over it. Like I said, people these days don't really need a whole lot of reasons to get into the mix with others. Just keep yourself and your satchel within your personal space, and keep trying to be polite, even when others are not. We are a dying breed, but in the end it will be kindness, and the ability to admit our mistakes and try to fix them, that will save us.

Maybe he's just having a bad day. Sometimes we react differently on the same stituation that had happened to us many times in our lives. Like being bumped while hurriedly walking down the street or someone stepped on your shoes (I really hate that!). Yet sometimes it's ok and sometimes it's not.
Just let it go. You tell them you didn't mean to. If they reacted harshly don't take it seriously. If they said something bad to you it's because they don't know you or maybe just truly nasty by nature. Just don't bother to react to stupidity, with that in mind you'll see you'll feel better.

It might not be that he is white, it might be that he is just a jerk. If this had happened to me I would have just said "Hi" and probably started a conversation with you!

I wouldn't call it racist necessarily, he is probably just a jerk with anger management problems. I've seen lots of guys behave that way, one day he will have an outburst at the wrong place & time and either get beaten badly, get arrested, etc. He will learn.

i will apologise but tell him nicely that he does not have to behave in such a rude and aggresive manner. Anyway, he is the one embarrassing himself not you...

apologizing for scratching him before he had the chance to yell would have been the most polite thing to do.
