When I was 11 we were vacationing at this place in Indiana. I was in the arcade, watching this one white kid playing 'Commando' (late 80s). The kid lost a man and his buddy said, "That game's a nigger." He turned and saw me standing there and said, "Sorry dude." I walked away. I wasn't about to get into a fight with two teenagers.

The other thing wasn't as overt (not that that was), but I was in a chicken place. Now I'm about 5'11", medium brown, slight build and a bear of a human being walked in just before me, dark-skinned. We look absolutely nothing alike. He ordered and waited. I'm waiting for two minutes before I ask if I can pay for my order when the white teen says something to the effect of, "We thought you were together." Other than us both probably having African heritage there was absolutely nothing indicating we had anything in common. I just passed it off as the stupidity of youth 'cause I wasn't about to pass up the food. It was just too good.
