It amazes me how quick some people are to play the race card. A while ago, a man called up from a payphone in a supermarket with abdominal pain. It was a busy day, so he had to wait a while for an ambulance. Not content with waiting, he called again and again, as some people do. Then he got the supermarket staff to call for him, and finally he enlisted the help of a passerby. "Why's he been waiting so long?" stormed the passerby. "I bet it's because of the colour of his skin!" Did the "helpful" passerby think that we had a video link to the payphone? Or did he think we'd actually asked the caller the colour of his skin: "Are you white? Certainly, it'll be right with you. Black? No, sorry, back of the queue!" Idiot!
