And it wasn't true at all? Here is my situation. I was a cashier at a retail store, and this white woman came in my line and used a debit card(where she would enter in her pin number) ok that transaction was complete, so then comes a black man that uses a credit card. I ask him for his ID..and he said I was racists against my own kind because I didn't ask the white lady for her ID. So when I explained to him that we don't ID for debit cards when someone enters their pin number, but we ID for credit cards...he was rather embarrassed after he heard what I had to say.

Yes, I have. Usually when I disagree with someone who has a leftist world view.
And no, it is not true.
Racism is an easy knee-jerk reaction for people in a culture that values victimhood.

Yes first time in my life in today I got accused of being racist. I work as a nurse and a young man who had been stabbed, who I was trying to sort his pain relief, accused me of this.
He said I did not come to his bedside quick enough, when he had been mumbling ow, when I had already gave him pain relief and that I had a smug smirk on my face. Then pulled the racist card on me, as he was black.
One of my collegues who is black had a word with him. And he later wanted to apologise to me. But I felt too upset to go and see him.
Find it incompletely inappropriate people who pull the race card in such circumstances. And he knew exactly what he was saying.

No I have never been accused of it. A lot of people jump to conclusions before they know all the facts. That man was one of them. You handled that situation very well. I am proud of you. Keep up the good work.

oh YES... How about this one for you? i was accused of being racist because i was defending myself. There was a guy who was trash talking my race and i mean had no respect whatsoever that i was there and just laughed so when i told him "can you please stop, i dont appreciate that?" this girl jumped in and said shut up you're being racist right now.... i was like WTF???? ha i was defending myself and i didnt even use vulgarity and the stupid chic was about to start a big arguement.. i've been faced with alot of racism but i just let it go... people who think like that are narrowminded and i choose not to lower myself to that level. You did good in staying calm and explaining to him the situation. YOU GO!!

Well probably he faced racism so much that he thought of you as a racist.
My sister has accused me of being a racist once because I thought that cats from a certain (noble) breeds can not have intercourse with cats from different breeds! I was wrong!

He was confused about the transactions.
I think he should not have said that to you though.....
And no it has never happened to me..
You did a good job in a sticky situation by explaining to him without getting angry....I applaud you..

Yes, by saying a dance camp visiting our school that spoke exclusively Chinese was a 'Chinese dance camp'. Apparently it was just a 'dance camp', and I got detention. ??
that was a funny story of yours btw =)
