I've seen it happen in blue states as well. I remember a store manager in California who was very white with red hair. A middle age white customer made a racist comment about a couple of black customers, expecting Wayne to agree with him. Little did the customer realize that Wayne was married to a black woman and had two bi-racial daughters.
It is never a good idea to make assumptions about people you don't know.

Hmmm... not sure when I learned that. Occasionally I still do but I usually catch myself and stop.
