First, I am Caucasian.
I went to a Korean grocery store, and the owner or an employee followed me every step. She did not say anything to me at all, and I said nothing to her either. I got spooked and left without buying anything. When I told a Korean friend about the incident, he told me that the person was just ensuring that I found what I wanted. It's hard to understand other cultures. I'm not sure I believe what my friend told me either.
Accosted commuting to work and beat badly and had cigarettes put out in my ears and face during a riot by a group of black rioters.

On three different job interviews. On each occasion, the first
in 1968 (after returing from Viet Nam) second in 1974 and
the third in 1984, all told me the same thing. We have had
some problems with black employees in the past. All
three jobs I got and I moved up rapidly in each.
