Does it sound bad that I try to avoid shops owned by or who employ non-whites?
Why do you go as far as that to avoid these shops? Those ideas are extreme to me as far as racist talk goes.
They always stink and they all seem like they want to rip me off.
Hasty comments like that make me somewhat think bad about a person. Generalize on something positive instead, it will make you feel more at ease being around non-whites. Not all non-whites are as bad as you think, there are plenty of good ones who have decent jobs too.
You just don't get it. There are some seriously crazy non-whites around.
There are crazy white people too, aren't there? You shouldn't judge people just based off of the fact that they are non-white.
