Is this racism?

[cooooola]

Basically I was at the pub in the pub and nobody was behind the bar.

I was first in line.

An elderly couple come and and then another man who slams his glass down.

When the bar lady asks "who is first"? I replied me.

The elderly couple say "we have been waiting ages".

And the man next says "I didn't see her".

I felt this was due to me being mixed race.
I felt quite intimidated.

I only popped in for a drink whilst OH has the kids.

I feel any shaken up as the only ethnic person in the place.
AIBU

Exactly. It did actually upset me the first few times that happened but now I really don’t care what people like that say. I was called a racist and a fascist the other day for saying that I’d like a conversation about immigration.

The thing is, I know I’m not a racist (or a fascist 🤣 - my kids may disagree when rooms need tidying) and all these people achieve is to demonstrate their complete lack of argument and propensity for bullying.

Can you specify exactly where the racist element in OPs interaction was?

If she has assumed racism because they looked at her face then that means she will interpret literally every negative interaction where her face is visible as racism.

Which is quite similar to pp accused the entire population of the U.K. of being racist. Which is also a ludicrous position to hold.

woah there trigger - I've not read all the posts to this point.

Me and the majority of white people in the UK. Not wanting to become a minority in our country. So extreme!

You don't speak for me. I don't a shit what colour skin is in the majority / minority here in the UK - If we are here legally then we have as much right to be here as anyone else.

Utter rage bait. So white people can't cheer black footballers when they score goals? Damned if we do damned if we don't. The fact that OP used that particular example shows just who really does want a divide. Bore off.

Everyone is a racist and a fascist if you don't fall in line with the likes of @MissBeans83 dated attitude. Don't get me started on seeing, yet again, the notion that black people can't be racist. For these people who claim be educated, I really do wish they would study the relevant legal position on racism. All very well doing these City and Guilds diversity courses. That makes you a level 2 novice.

This is the story. You stood your ground. A very normal pub situation. There's always a tosser.

Making a normal interaction like this into a racist incident does racism a disservice. You have told us nothing that suggests racism was involved. Unconscious bias because you were a woman by yourself, perhaps.

Racism, no well they might have been racist but impossible to tell. Just 2 selfish, self absorbed people who wanted to be served first. Unfortunately there’s a lot like them.

Oh I switched off with the her word salads.

It isn't worth your time.

This. ^
