i've been stopped and searched by cops before when walking to the train after the bar simply because i came from a heavy metal concert.
again these are not huge deals but in my opinion are examples on par with not getting into the club on friday night which is what was being discussed in this thread.

Well perhaps though the difference is situations involving a racist person (which yours appear to be) v. situations dealing with a racist policy? I would say the latter is more disturbing though neither is right.
On the whole though I would maintain that if you're white you probably suffer less racism than if you are not white. Would you agree?
