Two Clear Cases of Racism

[WTF]

1) It's a poker tournament. I've just returned from a break and I'm the only player at my table. A minute later another player returns and sits down directly to my right. He's a very friendly black guy about 22ish in age. He scoots his chair close to mine and in a low tone confides in me that he's joining in with a number of other people to sue the very casino we were playing in.

He said that he and the others had all been discriminated against in one way or another. I asked him what he had experienced. He started off by telling me that he had a degree in math. He then said that he had applied for a cashier position which had opened up (where you exchange your chips for cash, not the gift shop). Now he looks over each shoulder and says, "..and they didn't hire me." Instantly his eyes opened wide and his mouth stayed open looking rather shocked.

I assumed that the casino had went ahead and hired a caucasian, but when I asked him who had gotten the job he just shrugged is shoulders and said he had no idea.

2) I'm standing in line at McYouKnowWho's about to order some food when a black teenager and his white buddy come storming up to the front of the line. The black teen (about 16 years old) extends both his arms towards the cashier with a burger in both hands (top bun in one hand the rest in the other). He say's, "Somebody spit on my cheesburger!"

The cashier and I looked hard at the burger as he held it. It looked perfectly fine to me, no sign of a loogie as far as I could tell. Anyway, the cashier rolls her eyes, doesn't say a word, and takes the burger. As she walks away to get him another burger, the teen says to his buddy, "When I saw that cook, I knew he was going to spit on my food just because I'm black." As soon as I heard him say that I immediately wished I had grabbed the burger and shoved it down my throat.
