You can't say anything these days without being accused of racism, so it's best not to say anything at all. Just keep your mouth shut and your head down and go about your business and in 65 or 70 years or so it will all be over. For example, here in Maine where the most recent demographic count shows 94% of the population (1, 345,790 people) is white and 1.34% is black, still it's a powder keg. Most recently, the owner of Shain's of Maine, a company that makes the best ice cream you or anyone else ever tasted, "used a racial slur" when he asked a young black employee why blacks could use the you-know-what word and white people can't. Well, fuggedaboutit!
Next thing you know the teenager told her mother, who posted it on Twitter, and before you could say "mob rule" Shain's is losing customers left and right and banned from baseball games with the local team after a 26-year-long relationship. So here's my advice: if you get a chance before the company goes bankrupt, try their Peppermint Stick ice cream. It's to die for.
