In my neck of the woods, we still have racism issues over in North Idaho. It doesn't help that I have a lake house not far from the former nazi compound. My family tried to pull the whole 'you look like a skinhead' thing when I first started but now everyone is so used to it. A couple years back when I was working retail, I had an African American/black customer that was acting off so I didn't give him a guarantee on an item. When the cashier heard about it they called me up and asked me why I didn't, I told them I forgot. That is when the customer said in a very loud voice "Is it just 'cuz I'm black, whitey!?!" I literally laughed out loud and walked away. When my manager asked about it later, I told him I would have treated the guy the same way had he been white or any other color, I treat all ignorant people the same regardless of skin color.
