Why can't racism just go away (be careful TLDR)

Today I was with my cousin waiting for the J train and he went to approach this white girl and ask her a question (not holla or anything like that). I'm a good distance away and can't hear but know what he's gonna ask because he previously asked another white girl and there were no problems.

I swear in under 2.3 seconds this white girl's reaction was as if my cuz asked to smash on the tracks. She replied loud enough and said "Wow! This is really weird. I can't do this." and stormed off :lol: :smh:

I'm looking shocked like what the **** did he say?! He's like nah I didn't even get to ask her anything. Once he said excuse me, hello she started bugging out.

I aint seen a white person's reaction to a black person like that in NYC in a long time. Even though it was a black guy approaching a white girl.

Shorty was firmly placed in the racist category in my mind.

That's weak and dismissive of real racism. A girl is allowed to have any reaction she wants if a guy goes up to approach her as a stranger. It's not a safe world for them and any decently good looking girl gets talked to way more than they want. I don't know why people refuse to acknowledge this and leave them alone. If guy went up to an older couple that makes sense - there is a built in security for them and they would be more open to helping out. Can't approach a female all by herself and have any sort of expectations for what she should do. Some guy at the gym asked my girl if he could have some water from her water bottle (i was playing hoops). She politely said no and had to walk away from the area she was working out since she knew the next step was him trying to holler.

She scary or something ? She should have continued working out and dismiss mans. She didn't have leave just out of "fear" of being hollered at.
 
A random guy asking a girl he doesn't know if he could have a sip from her water bottle is weird. I can't blame her not wanting to be around that dude.
 
What do you look like bro? For some reason this scenario makes me picture a 5'7" Asian dude with a flat top, rimless glasses, and smedium t-shirt with chubby arms. I'll let chu tell it tho.
 
Not sure about racism, but probably more like non racial bias, esp. With what colombia said pretty much $ talks.
But either way these clubs aint the type to treat people with love and respect everytime. Im sure if u went off hours u would be served better

He was definitely trying to holler at her :lol:

She should've pointed to the water fountain and kept working out.

That's ********. You're telling me as a man I can't ask a woman on the street a question like "which way is street X" because "she has to deal with lots of men approaching her on a daily basis trying to holla at her" That is not a common or rational response by that woman in the original story
 
Bring mini bottles with you and down them in the bathroom. Problem solved.

But seriously, I hate situations like that and I don't hesitate to call them out. I don't see racism going anywhere unfortunately.
We call these nips. Is that just a Boston thing?

I think the answer here is if you have a question don't ask a girl standing by herself unless you are trying to holler at her. If you want an actual helpful response that is the last target market that is likely to help someone out (especially if you are a person of color). Is that messed up? Sure probably is on some level. One another level it makes sense...they are scared and react at such. Doesn't make it right, but to act like we all don't know that is to go out looking for reasons to get offended.

Op doesn't know what racism is, Jesus Christ....you asked what they had, clearly you weren't ready when you had their attention at that one point. There are no lines at bars dude, quit crying. Asking what beer they have is also a very dumb question, I'm sorry but almost every bar has a display or something to show what is available, look around and make an educated/common sense decision. You see the place is packed and super busy, don't waste time asking dumb things, that's honestly probably why you were forced to wait, or the bartender just wanted you to have enough time to decide probably...

Ive been on the other side of the bar for years at a packed venue. First off, don't be that guy waving at any bartender, you really think a bartender doesn't know what the **** is going on? They ALL know who just came up and who didn't, waving or acting like a dbag will make you wait longer, just stand there and wait. The number 1 rule of thumb is to tip good, next time you come up you will not be ignored at all, they will remember you 100%

The level of salt in this post is approaching Dead Sea level.

-Dam so I'm a pushover for not being aggressive enough.
-Don't wave your hands and act like a dbag though because that will make you wait longer
-OP is not getting laid

I learned a lot from you guys thanks.

I don't know why I didn't mention this earlier, would have caused less confusion. I ask the white guy what beer they had, he pointed to the shelf and said whatever is up there. Ok cool got it. Then I was ready to buy something. The Indian guy was not around at this time. He came later and saw me and said I'll be right with you. I know it was a dumb question I was tripping or something, but that wasn't what got to me. I assumed we were on the same page. This has nothing to do with being alpha. He was already helping other people so I waited for him to finish. After he finished with them he looked at me and I showed him signs that I was ready to buy. He then went to a new group of people that clearly just arrived. That's when I was like uhhh what lol. Then that's when the other white guy came after me and he helped him. My bad for not making that clear in the beginning. Like I said before out of all the times I went out this never happened. Ever. In all honesty though I'm actually over it. I was on tilt lol. Like someone said before though next time if it takes more than 10 mins I'll just bounce.

And for the record I did not tip.
