I'm white and I once got called "racist against my own kind" by a white lady while working in a bible belt state😭

I was operating a ferris wheel that needed to be balanced so it didn't get stuck, and it just so happened that the white family next in line was too large and would've gotten it stuck, so I had the smaller Black family behind them go first instead

I hated living there so much. I once had two customers call me names and ask me why I had "such a black name" (they said it with a slur tho). Not that it matters, but I was named after a white actress with a very white (though slightly uncommon) name, so they weren't even right about where it came from?

They harassed me for like 15 minutes and my supervisor had to come and shoo them away from me.
