That's just plain wrong. You have every reason to chose a line with the
least traffic. If people of a particular race are the only culprits they
have no business pulling out the race card. As if they don't have
enough stereotypes to deal with there is not much sense in setting
themselves up for a new one. Personally, I would not tolerate it, and I
would make a fuss over it too.
