I'm sorry your family had to deal with stuff like that, CB.
It's really abhorrent to treat people poorly based on race or ethnicity.
Thanks.
I overcame this and wound up with full tuition to Hofstra with 6 scholarships.
Later, working graveyard alone at a Shell station, met the love of my life, a beautiful Irish woman, whom I've been married to to for 47 years. I was 20, she was 13 but looked about 19, her dad was the sexton at a Catholic Cemetery who dug the graves.
Guess I'm pretty weird.

The third is where you are denied opportunity or equality without explanation, and have to infer that that denial may be due to bias.
But I have seen many times those too quick to infer that something is due to a bias when it's actually due to
other factors. Ex- a lazy worker gets fired, someone with poor credit or criminal record
is denied a rental, or a law breaker gets arrested.

Can't see any reason a barber would have too much work cutting curly hair.

Maybe, sure, yeah.
But, bias, prejudice, and discrimination have been, and are still, so common, hopefully citing exceptions is almost turning a blind eye in apology for horrendous behavior.

Not at all..Just have seen real cases of racism as well as false accusations.
In fact the false assumptions hurt the cause of exposing and righting the
true racist incidents.

Racism is a weird thing as relates to Jewish people in that you can go some places and nobody has a clue in the world that you are Jewish or even cares.
It's harder to accomplish this for dark-skinned people. Unless people are blind, dark skin is tough to spot.
I think discrimination against Jews would be more prevalent in places where one could recognize a Jew all the time and not just when they're leaving the synagogue, you know?
Does not make it less hurtful, of course.
