I'm sorry to hear about your experiences, but I'm not too surprised. I've observed a lot of racism under the surface over the years. My fiancee is Japanese American, and once got punched out by some character on December 7th, blaming her for Pearl Harbor! And her father was in the US Navy! Kind of like those characters back in World War 1 who thought it was patriotic to kick dachshunds.
It's amazing the number of people who seem to look for excuses to be mean to someone.

Actually, I can write a whole book about all the racial problems I've experienced in the USA, both in relation to my marriage and independent of it. That includes all the stuff I've experienced dating back to childhood (my parents and I had moved to the US when I was little). But I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that I've lived mostly in rural all-white redneck areas where people's mentality (regarding race) is still like what it was several decades ago. I notice that (relatively speaking) there no longer appears to be that much racial problem around big cities.
