Last night I was at a bar with a couple of friends. My friend and I wanted a beer so i went up to the counter to get my order in. I expected a long wait because it was packed. After standing there for about 10 minutes I noticed something off. Everyone that came after me was served first. Keep in mind they were all white. I'm Asian and the two bartenders were male. One was white and the other was Indian/Pakistani looking (let's just call him Uncle Tom). I clearly made intentions that I wanted to buy something (asking them what beer they had and having my debit card out). After 5 minutes the Indian guy tells me "i'll be right with you." Then he proceeds to help 3 women that literally just showed up (they were all white). The white bartender makes eye contact with me then walks away to chat with his friends. Being a patient person, I try not to jump to conclusions. Then another white guy squeezes through the crowd and ends up next to me. The Indian guy goes straight to him and asks him if he can help him. The white guy says "this guy was here before me and looks like hes been waiting for a while, help him first". Honestly that made my night. I didn't even care about the beer anymore.
So the Indian guy asks me what do I need. He got me the beer really quick. I wanted to throw a drink in his face tbh. I don't know man at that point I wasn't even mad anymore, just disappointed at the fact that we still treat each other like this. I just wanted to buy my drink and bounce but they made it so dam difficult. The white bartender was nowhere to be found after a few minutes. It sucks because I just want to be nice to everyone but in this day and age, racism is still alive and well.
