How do I react when someone throws the race card at me?

Working in the hotel industry, we get many people who try to throw race cards at the staff.





Many times, we have people who claim to be Christian and actually steal from the hotel and lie to the staff. So hypocritical.





Other times, we get people who say - you wont give me an upgrade from a standard room with no view to an ocean front suite because i am so-and-so (a different skin color from you). People like this need to understand that it has nothing to do with race - it's all about being fair to those who actually PAID for these rooms. I guess my question really is, why is it necessary to pull the race card and how can I react without getting mad?





Racism still exist because people let it exist and use it to their advantage.





Martin Luther King Jr wanted equality in ALL races not just blacks and whites.

These people usually know that it has nothing to do with their race but that if they inject race into the argument, people will usually cow tow to them- they know how to play the system.





MLK wanted a color blind society, I think he would be disappointed in Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton and all the others that continue to divide us upon race lines
Reply:There is no such thing as the RACE CARD.





They might as well change the name of that excuse to "how to justify racism while looking like a douchebag".

Reply:as long as people like Dani(the queen in the race card deck) is still around you will have to deal with situations like that.
Reply:Why do people use the race card? Because it works. It's a hot button that guarantees attention. Anything that works so well is here to stay until it loses effectiveness.
Reply:Well, whatever you do don't fight because you could get life in prison especially.
