So why not use that as your example instead of Metro Mall?
Because the last time I shopped on metro was at metro mall. Went to toys r us a couple weeks ago. There is no reason why anyone should feel they need to avoid shopping in middle village. Maybe I should of used atlas park as the example instead.

Same thing! This thread was started about 1 bakery. You can't compare entire malls with regional and national chains in them...to 1 mom-n-pop bakery.

Or a specific nationality and country when neither were involved in this story in any way other than the race-baiter's last name sounding like it comes from said nationality.
This has gone totally off topic. I'm not saying racism doesn't exist in Italy. Matter of fact, tell me what country is on this planet that doesn't have any racism at all.
What I don't appreciate is someone singling out an entire ethnicity based on HIS assumption "just because" and to go as far as saying that no other ethnicity does this. This is the problem I'm having.

One he said/she said incident and we're ready to write off an entire neighborhood as a bunch of bigots. Truthfully, if the goods are worth buying, it does not matter who they have behind the counter. Its even got the mod avoiding entire commercial strips these days out of fear of being discriminated against.

Have you ever been discriminated against? Do you have any idea how it feels to be rejected because of the color of your skin? It's not a good feeling - and the first time it happens, it's pretty hard to recover from. It's like almost sticking your hand in fire and getting burned - why chance getting burned again?

From what I read in the last few months things like that still going on in the city. I recalled watching a show about a famous black celeb who father was put in a nursing home where he was the only black man there who happened to pass for white. The horrible things he heard they said about black people especially during the early 20 century right up to the early 1970's made the man cried. He just could not believed that long after the Civil Right Movement, nothing much changes and these people probably poison some of their children/grandchildren and great grandchildren's minds. I don't believed all elders are like this because as a European, done my homework to know there were a lot who did stood side by side with Black people. Sadly there are still some people who still lived in the past and long for those horrible/shameful eras.

I have. By both white people and black people. Doesn't mean that I will avoid entire sections of the city based on race. Frankly, I don't think it would be physically possible for myself to even do so.
^ what have you ever needed from a black person to feel as if you were being discriminated against?
