They waited for the white chick to be gone.

That is cold.
Race profiling is just as bad as what I call clothes profiling. Sometimes what you are wearing affects how people treat you. My girlfriend is half Japanese. If she goes to a store or anywhere where she ends up asking the person that works there a question they often talk slowly to her like they think she doesn't speak English and other people sometimes treat her like she is just a dumb, pretty girl. She is a dental assistant and is actually close to being out of school and being an actual dentist. If she goes somewhere wearing her scrubs from work instantly people treat her differently because they assume she is a nurse or a doctor and she must be very smart.
