    Arguing with staff until your son cries because you don’t have ID on you generally makes me think of you as an asshole.

      Yeah, you’re right. People should just accept racism in order to teach their child the lesson that racism against them is acceptable.

        I’m an anti racist skinhead who’s also worked in retail. I’m not at the point that I accept that this wasn’t a tantrum, but I accept there might be discriminatory elements. I don’t really know how carding works in the UK, but in the US if someone asks you’re not getting service if all you’ve got on you is your cell phone.

        They didn’t sell to him because he doesn’t have am ID, nothing about his skin color. Same goes with alcohol bud
