I’m a victim of racism
Today, I was in a Chicken Express store, waiting at the front counter to get my refill. I’d been waiting for less than a minute when a person of colored skin came along beside me and was waited on immediately by the black person working there. I was still standing there, bewildered that he got waited on before me when I was clearly there first. I continued to stand there, and another black employee came along and started looking at the person being waited on, acting as though I was completely invisible. Eventually, she did offer to get my refill, but this was obviously a discrimination against me due to the color of my skin.
