OK. You have a better view to that type of thing than I do. I don't get that kind of treatment because, well, I'm White.

We have plenty of experience at it.

Yes. But because of my strong Southern accent, not my ethnicity. Yeah, not exactly the same thing.

I believe. I've seen it in action. Yes, it is sometimes used as an excuse, but not always.

Racism knows no boundaries. All races, colors, creeds, etc have their share of bigots.
