Pull the racism card out of the deck already!  email this discussion to a friend?

I know a couple of people who are a different race than I am. One is a lady from work and the other is my business partner's husband. The lady from work is philipino and claims that if someone doesn't like her it's because they are racist. I have to disagree with that and say that it's nothing to do with her culture background and it has everything to do with the way she works. Not very well. For instance, I work in a nursing home and we take care of a lot of residents with alzheimers and dimensia so they have no idea what they are doing. This one man has alzheimers and he is a fighter who never lets anyone help him and wants to struggle with us all the time so she thought he was racist. I found that rediculous!
Now the other person I know is my business partner's husband, we own a daycare at her house and everything that goes wrong for him is because he's black. It's really getting on my nerves already everytime I have to hear this.
Example: This one lady who was dropping off her daughter in the morning drove off fast a couple times. Now I'm guessing it's because she was running late for work, or maybe she was angry because she's pregnant and she was just having a rough morning? Well he claimed that it's because she's racist. Another instance was when he came into the playroom and this little girl threw a toy at him. She thought he did that because he's black. Everything that happens to him, he thinks it's because of his skin color!
I really feel like telling him to cool it and I think it's low self esteem.
What would you say to a person or people that use the racism card all the time even when you know it's not true?

Some people use the racism card as a cop-out for their character. Although there still are racist people and situations, I don't think it's the excuse for everything.

I just think it's wrong all the way around to use it as a cop out or self esteem issues. You're right there are definitly people out there that are racist and I would say that they are the ones with the issues.

Thanks for your reply

That's very true. In this day there is no reason people should still be racist. It's crazy.

Ive herd people say that alot. Ow its just becuase im a different race then you. It doesnt matter if your black white or anything where all the same. so know one should even say someone is being racest becuase if one says your racest then there racest to you. Some people dont think like that but if you see what i mean you will think the same.

Tell them to get over theirselves we all have red blood. It dont have anything to do with skin color its all how the act toward other people We have lots of friends with different colored skin but we are all the same underneath that skin!.

Oh I sure wished I could tell her husband more than just that! I am really disliking the guy not only because he does this but for so many other reasons. He acts like a big baby! Like grow up already. It's really pathetic already.

Thanks for your response.
