Did you treat him differently because of his race? If so that's racism, just the rare positive form of it. Similar to me and my treatment of latina ladies. I would bend over backwards to help one.

Nay, that's not racism. For whatever reason he just feels awkward around black people.

Being partial to women of a certain ethnicity isn't racist. Its a physical attraction. I don't see how that's racism torwards other ethnicities.

That's not much of a story bro. I thought you were going to say you did something nice for a black guy and he accused you of racism or something.

One can argue that you were belittling him by thinking he was dependent on your special treatment, as if he was a child.

Racism is a conscious set of beliefs about the "worth" of certain human races.

There is no such thing as accidental, unintentional, or subconscious racism. That would be only positive or negative discrimination, an entirely different, and more natural thing.

As a black person, I reserve the right to perceive EVERYTHING as racism. It's awesome!!

It sounds more to me like you were being *too* friendly.

You may have to ask some questions about yourself later on. Alcohol brings out truths in people they would never admit under any other circumstances.

Nope. You were just extra nice to this dude.

If being nice to someone of a different ethnicicity is racism then the world needs more of it.
