The only time I've experienced racism on the train was when a first nations gentleman sat next to me and stated "all white people are #######s." I replied "I'm sorry you feel that way."
He then said he needed money for a hamburger while casually showing me the 6" switchblade he had "for protection, just in case." I gave him $20 and he made his way off the train at the next stop.
At least he didn't rob me outright.
