Do you think it was racist?

A young fellow whose African ancestors were slaves in the US, worked for me. One day he met my next door neighbor who had recently moved to Canada form Ethiopia. The young man greeted my neighbour with a "Hey Brother". My neighbour looked at him like he had holes in his head. The neighbour felt no kinship to the young man at all. Skin tone be damned. I had great difficulty keeping a straight face.

More of a language/usage barrier than racism, I think.

@Lila15 BLM has nothing to do with wanting cops to kill. It is classic Marxism. How do you bring about the change Marxism demands? Well you could deal in economic class where there only one race or you could use racism when there are more than one races. Ditto the use of sexes, genders, sexual preferences. Any wedge issue that can be used to bring about the collapse of established order...

@hippyjoe1955 Don't you see how Trump is doing that by demonizing any American who doesn't agree with him?

is you question about their interaction or your laughter?

@texasdaddydom How was my trying not to smile even remotely racist. The Canadian thought he felt a blood kinship the Ethiopian didn't share. It struck me funny. BTW the Canadian was a bit of a racist and we had to tell him to stop it several times when he decided to start a fight with some one who didn't share his skin tone.

@hippyjoe1955
I don't know I never even suggested you were at all being racist in fact I see nothing racist at all in the interaction you first described I simply asked you to clarify your question.
