While in the Eurostar lounge, some woman, looking very lost, turns to me and says 'can you please get me some white wine?'. I definitely give her a 'are you seriously talking to me?' Look. I think she gets the picture pretty quickly and profusely apologizes blaming her misspeak on the fact that I have a blue shirt on (of course it has nothing to do with the fact that I'm a black man in a predominately white environment of course)
Its a small lounge so I see her couple times while waiting for my train. She repeatedly says hello and sorry and by the 2nd time I'm very very annoyed.
Now the question is: should I think this woman is a racist or is it just a case of mistaken identity?
