I'm so racist that I don't even have to know your race to discriminate against you.

[Raveni]

Today, I got accused of being racist, discriminatory, etc, etc, in a flaming 6-page email.

Seems that he wasn't very happy that the rules enforcement action against him was taken to the next level.

He could only think that the reason why we've been trying to get him to follow the rules for over a year was because he was <race>.

1. We've been trying to make you follow the rules because you were breaking them. Want that to stop? Stop breaking the rules.

2. You've never responded to any of the nice letters, nastygrams, or warnings that have been getting. No phone calls, no visits to my office, to attendance at meetings...

3. Because of #2, I've never met you. Or seen you. Or talked to you on the phone. So, how do you expect me to know that you are <race>?

4. Even your name is so generic (think "John Smith", but not quite), that there would be no way of determining that you are <race> from your name.

Bonus point: I am also supposedly racist against his tenants. The rules this guy is breaking? Not providing tenant information. So, by telling me that his tenants are <race>, that's all the information that he has given me about them in over a year.

Reminds me of when I worked in a law office. This woman missed her appointment and called to schedule another, and was pissed that all appointments were booked for the next three or so weeks (it was near the end of the school year, so the lawyer was taking a lot of time off to go to events for his children -ballet recitals, sport events, awards etc. etc.)

She pulled the race card on me, claiming I was racist against her because she was black.

Wanna know what's even better? When she came in for her appointment? White as snow.

Were you discriminating because she was delusional?

Kidding. But she was.

1. We've been trying to make you follow the rules because you were breaking them. Want that to stop? Stop breaking the rules, ASSHOLE!

Fixed for my own amusement.

[Raveni]

Fixed for my own amusement.

I love you man.

Update: Mr. RuleBreaker (RB) has dropped the race angle. He now claims that we are being harsh on him because he has a cushy government job and we hate the government.

1. I didn't know anything about where you work until over a year after we started rules enforcement against you. (You may see a pattern here...)

2. It doesn't matter where you work. Stop breaking the rules, ASSHOLE!

3. I would actually hope that your industry would be more prone to following the rules. Or at least a more creative denial once you get caught.

4. See #2 above.

*snrk*

The excuses people come up with. It's kind of funny how such people can imagine that you are harsh against them for race, job, place where they live, band they like, and so on...but that you could be harsh because they broke the rules? IMPOSSIBRU!

[AmbrosiaWriter]

If he really has a "cushy" government job then he should be very well acquainted with the idea of "RULES MUST BE FOLLOWED." My dad works for a government office, and there are plenty of rules (that make sense) that he must follow while at his job and doing his work.

Dumbass.

I'd have stared blankly at her and refused to let her in, since after all, she wasn't the correct race, and she already thought I was racist so....

I'd love to give the following answer to someone who plays the race card:

"Got me there. Of course I hate you because of your race - I'm a misanthrope, and I hate all members of the human race."

That reminds me of one incident I had. Guy comes in to buy a PSP. Not a problem I go get one. Now we kept them secured in the back cages so they had no other security items on them so policy is until the sale is processed, the customer is not allowed to handle the item. Well this guy was having none of that. He was screaming up and down that he should be able to handle it, flashed the money in front of me, etc. I did not back down. A manager came in to ask what the issue was (the guy was being that loud) and I explained it. The manager offered to take my place and explained to the customer why not but the guy was still pissed off.

After the sale went through and he was heading out, he threw a parting shot of "you did that because I'm black!" Which prompted a WTF from the two of us as he was whiter than my manager and he's Italian!

[RootedPhoenix]

Some people are just allergic to rules, I guess.

[EricKei]

Back at DaddyJim's Pizza, in another life, I had more than one person accuse me of racism because we did not deliver to her area (because a store that was CLOSER had control of that region)....Despite the fact that we certainly did not have videophones, ask about their race during the opening spiel, etc >_> Besides, the way our franchise contracts were set up, delivering to her could have gotten us *sued* by the franchise that had her area...

[Raveni]

Update: Mr. RuleBreaker (RB) is now upset because he is being charged interest and late fees.

RB - You're only charging me because I'm <race>!
Me - Sir, our computer system is automated; it automatically charges every delinquent account on a certain date.
RB - Then your computer is racist!
Me - Sir, there is no field for me to tell the computer your race, even if such a thing mattered. All that matters is when your payment arrived.
RB - Because I'm <race>!
Me - Sir, perhaps if your check arrived a little late, I can forward a request for the fees to be waived?
RB - No, that will never get approved, because you all hate people who are <race>.
Me - I just looked up your account. It looks like your payment wasn't received late last month, we never got it at all. Did you send it to the right address?
RB - You're just saying that because I'm <race>! Of course I did! Let me pull out my checkbook.... oh. Here's the check. I guess I never mailed it.
Me - ...
RB - Well, you still won't waive the fees because I'm <race>!
Me - Have a nice day sir.

Word of advice for those who'll never take them:

Don't play the race card if all you have is a joker. (Or the 2 of Clubs in bridge.)

I'd love to give the following answer to someone who plays the race card:

"Got me there. Of course I hate you because of your race - I'm a misanthrope, and I hate all members of the human race."

"I didn't know 'dumbass' was a race!"
