Black Patron hands me their card, I take it, scan it, and check out their books.
Black Patron: What part of Pennsylvania are you from?
Me: …how did you know I’m not from Philly?
Black Patron: The way you snatched that card out of my hand.
Me: …huh. Well, uh… I’m from a dinky little nowhere town called Greencastle.
Black Patron: Well, you know, Black Americans are the majority in Philly.
Me: Yeah I know
Black Patron: Good.
Black Patron leaves.
Me: what just happened
Coworker: What just happened? You didn’t “snatch” a card from anybody!
Me: I think they just called me a racist.
