[sudo-discuss] a very racist encounter from a man named Rob

[Robert Chu]

So I read the incident from Scott's perspective. The subject was also
titled "A very racist encounter..." There was no specific point of Robb
being racist.
"  After Deon was able to enter Omni, Rob then started following him around
and harassing him, acting like a cop. Although this is egregious in and of
itself, and a terrible counter-representation of the Omni's values, this
all came to a head when Rob accused Deon of not being "an actual, normal,
human being".

If anything it is racist against the whole human race, not just one
specific race.

Then I feel the next part was a clear interpretation, of a non-racist event
taking place.

Whether or not this was intentional, it evoked longstanding racist
attitudes that black folks have been subjected to, suggesting that Deon was
less-than, or sub-human. Deon was so offended that he promptly left the
Omni and has not been back since.  "

Then once again there is the misleading subject of "A racist encounter...."

Are there any data points that may have been overlooked that could give us
a better understanding of why a person would consider another person a
racists, when the only thing I gather is Human Being which may translate to
Human Race, yet then again that means all races.


Just trying to understand how Robb is being considered a racist, by an
interpretation of what seems to me being a "non-racist" statement.

Thanks
