OK. You have a better view to that type of thing than I do. I don't get that kind of treatment because, well, I'm White.

I believe. I've seen it in action. Yes, it is sometimes used as an excuse, but not always.

Racism knows no boundaries. All races, colors, creeds, etc have their share of bigots.
