What’s the worst example of racism you’ve seen in public?

Asked by rockfan (14627points) April 2nd, 2018 from iPhone

Today I was in my public library for an art gallery showing, and a woman was on the phone telling her husband that she was locked out of her car. At first she was trying to persuade black homeless people to break into her car, because “they’re good at it.” I also heard her casually say to her husband, “Hurry up, there’s a lot of dark people in the library.”

Felt like I was in the Jim Crow era where people were more open about their racism. It was disturbing and a little surreal.
