So, I went to get a new pair of shoes today at the mall. I met up with my girlfriend and her friend, and here's a list of things that stick out in my mind.

>I held the door for an older man who was obviously homeless, with brilliant blue eyes.
>He thanked me in a hoarse voice.
>The guy behind him was very obese, at least 350 lbs.
>and black
>He stared me down like it was my DUTY to hold the door for him.
>I just chuckled and walked inside.
>I was buying a pair of Vans.
>ALL of the employees were black or mexican.
>I stood there for 20 minutes (yes, I kept track) while two blacks sat behind the counter and laughed
>two mexicans and one black were getting shoes in the sizes requested for
>Finally, one asked me what I wanted. I told him the shoe and the size.
>He went back, and five minutes later, he comes out with a size smaller.
>I corrected him, to which he glared at me, and brought back the right shoe and size.
>It took 30 minutes to buy a pair of shoes.
>I was getting on the bus, and there was a white lady and her daughter, both Aryan, and so i walked up and told them i had an extra transfer slip, constituting a free ride.
>They looked harder-off than I, so I took it out and offered it. they told me that they already had passes but thanked me.
>We got in a discussion about religion (i'm agnostic, they're catholic)
>Right as I was about to get off the bus, the little girl ran up and gave me five free bus tickets.

I'm not "leaving out" anything people of another race did for me. I'm not taking whatever would sound best on here and posting it. I'm writing everything as I remember it. I'm not "hiding" a time a white slandered me, or a black held a door for me.

I'm interested to see other people's experiences, as well.
