Oh man, that would be a professor I had in college, one of the most outwardly racist POSs I ever met. He actually told us how much he didn't care for us white kids right at the beginning. It was shocking. And the college backed him. He would say things like "Ever notice that Black History Month is the shortest on the calendar?" But this was not a history class. It got old. It made us all uncomfortable. It was not a healthy learning environment.
He told us straight up that no one could go to the bathroom during a test. If we did, he would ASSUME we had notes or some way of cheating hidden in there. Turns out I had to one day...I fucking DARED him to fail me over that. He didn't.
I ended up filing a complaint with the college, which went nowhere. I was pissed.
Herein lies the challenge: there are always going to be people who don't get it, and you can't get hung up over them. Sense and reason must prevail. There's always someone who is going to irrationally dislike you for your skin color, where you're from, nationality, how much you have, etc. It's not easy, but you tune it out like noise.
