We see a lot of people here who play the race game the moment things don't go their way.
Just as an example, alcohol is forbidden from a number of Aboriginal communities as a defence against violence in the community.
I had an Aboriginal woman come in to send a couple of parcels to a dry community, but when fronted for ID suddenly forgot how to speak English. I am forbidden to accept freight without adequate ID by Air Transport Regs. A caucasian woman butted in and accused me of being unfair. I offered to send it against the white lady's ID, and explained that if there was anything naughty in the parcels, she was legally liable. She backpedalled so quickly I thought she'd tear up some of the tiles on the floor.
At that moment the security staff came in and announced that one of the cartons contained Bundaberg Rum, a dozen gas cigarette lighters and a bag of dope.
For some bizarre reason the white lady no longer wished to proceed with the transaction. The other girl bolted, but as I already had her details, some nice gentlemen collected her stuff and had a chat with her about the dope.
Racism is 90% bullshit and 10% perfect poison.
