Which racism are we talking about here? White v Black or Black v White?

I treat everyone the same... when I buy petrol from the Indian down the road I offer him a genuine 'thank you' and treat him like everyone else, even though he is an employee of some turkey who is probably ripping him off and others as well.

When I used to drive to work down south, I would fill up at a servo run by Indians, and I treated them all the same as I treat everyone else who behaves in a civilised manner - with civility and courtesy.

Maybe I was wrong, and should have figured those Indians were racist and were intent on robbing everyone... like so many self-interested groups seem to want to do.....

That is the kind of thing we see happening with all this 'racist' garbage' doing the rounds.... most decent, ordinary people like me don't even begin to understand what 'this 'racism' is all about.... since we don't live it... but it seems certain others do..... and make a big deal out of it.
