The fact that you put up five stories from news articles and follow up with saying "it aint rare at all mate." Genuinely bugs me in two ways.
1) it's "ain't"
2) Show me some actual statistics of call centers, else sorry, but I call cherry picking.
True. We all need to fix our problems today instead of leaving them to future generations. And this just happens to be one of the more critical ones of the lot.
"Yes, we all need to fix our problems now, and let me sit back and not say how we can." This comment is about as pointless as saying, "clean your room, person in Alaska I'm not talking to."
Vile indeed. If only it were a phenomenon peculiar to the southern states in the U.S.
congrats you win the "generic award".
Last month in Wisconsin an African-American lawmaker Sheila Stubbs was canvassing for her election, introducing herself to her neighbors in the district she wished to serve. She came along with her children and over 70 year-old mother I might add.
A nosy neighbor saw this non-white family sitting in a parked car, and watched Sheila use her cellphone, then suspected them of all being drug dealers. You can read about this case of driving while being black down below.

Now I'm not going to claim the call was right and I agree it was 100% wrong. However, I'd rather here the woman's side or at least her reasoning, when she saw it and other factors before I dig into a news article like this.
Well that right there is psyducked up.
Unfortunately though, there's no instant fix to a problem that is this systemically ingrained into a country. All we can do is continue to educate and correct where we can.
Ah, "systemically" hmm...that's a big word right there. I'd really like to see where you can point me to this "system" it's built on and is engrained into, because I'd like to see where you get the idea that someone's opinion of another person makes it "systemic" or whatnot.
Oh, and I mean current, since you did say "systematically" ingrained in a country (that's made up of F****** 50 states as I keep saying). So don't give me some past slavery BS when we're talking about now. Did it happen, yes, Jim crow did as well. However, give me something on the books that's systemic now, else you aren't being systemic about it until you show how it is.
I see the South is still up to its old muk
Cute, now say something that actually means something.

Geez, this insanity has to stop. Who cares if your skin is different from everyone else? We're all human after all...
Freaking God, what are you even trying to do with this thread? Oh...an incident happened, that I agree was messed up....and? What are you adding by just typing out how it "needs to stop" and then say nothing about ways to do it?
Literally only Gimmiepie said anything that could be seen as a suggestion, everyone else is just enjoying the circle jerking as well.
Like, for those that read this far, I'm not saying any and I mean "any" of these instances were right. I'd have to review, but if you all think I'm defending anything here, no I'm not.
What I am saying, is that this thread and ones like it are pointless and stupid because,
1) They offer nothing but a means to vent about something far away usually
2) bring up the temptation to stereotype some group of people or country
3) get un-earned dick sucking from others because, "lol I agree, preach fam"
4) Doesn't even try and discuss/debate this. Even if this is news, do something with it. Actually talk about this stuff. Discuss reasons why you'd think these women would do it, or the legitimacy of the writing in the article. Something that you know, actually means something.
5) Is overblowing something. I'm tempted to start a counter for myself, for every comment I see that doesn't add anything.
6) Are only used to stroke a sanctimonious ego.
Do I think anyone doing this thread or talking is bad...of course not. But you all can in being honest, do better. You can do what you want, but frankly I find it rather disappointing this thread that looked promising at first has divulged into this mess.
