By you're thread you're really a racist
Because you thought it's funny to say you're of mixed race

The unfortunate reality is that people actually can be racist against their own people. For example, Patrol 36 was in Israeli neo-Nazi group.

You should file a lawsuit against the librarian. Or at least get a lawyer to write a letter of complaint. Being accused of racism can seriously affect your future.

I wouldn't go that far in this case. She was trying to protect someone from racial discrimination. Unfortunately, the person she was attempting to protect was a lying asshole

What a random thing to do. Reminds me of the joke from Jim Norton where if he ever commits suicide, he`ll just blame a random person hes barely met in his suicide note. Just ruin someones life for no reason.

Great story and thanks for sharing! The problem is in society we just have very rude ignorant people where race has absolutely nothing to do with their character at all, its just how and who they are in life...

The sad thing is that many people who don't know many African Americans or other ethnic people might use an experience like this to mold every future decision of what they think or feel about ethnic people.

Yeah, I could see a lot of people using this as fuel too. This is just a case of an asshole doing something to spite us for no reason

It seems you haven't learn anything. That girl obviously was the one who was behaving presidential while you two blatantly told the truth like an enemy of the state. You committed nothing less than treason.

The correct answer would've been accusing the girl of rape.

If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

It appears that you just had the bad luck to run in with someone either mentally disturbed, or someone with a really bad caracter.As Pokoko said, she could have easily been someone with some disorder that can be easily triggered by something you did, that should have had no meaning at all(like the quick laugh you had at the starngeness of the situation), and she being paranoic/racist/ mentaly unbalanced thought they were making fun of her and thought she had to answer back.

Either way, at the very least it ended rather quickly and "painless", and thats the best thing about it.It would have been a real pain in the ass if she came along and started a discussion about how you two were "racists" and all, and until you had disproven all her lies, it would certainly take awhile.

Just happy you two are fine!
