I can't imagine being as shallow as the person doing the asking, is this person blind, deaf, and dumb.

Thanks for posting your response it is thorough and detailed to make the point and I agree with you it is pervasive, not occasional, the white privileged, and yes, I am as sad and angry as you are but I still am only discriminated from not being rich enough, not for automatically being questioned and dismissed before anyone knows my name and I have been aware of it since I first attended
school, and saw how the teachers behaved to some students.
