"Old People" 2: Black people are stupid?

Yeah, I didn't know that either.  Today while working at the pharmacy, an old guy comes up wanting to get something refilled.  I inform him that he doesn't have any refills, and that we'll have to fax the physician to get it authorized.  He said that he already told them he needed a refill, but he wasn't sure if it got through because the girl who usually worked was on vacation.  Instead, there was "a black girl, so that's probably why it hasn't been done.  Do you think that has something to do with it?" he asks me.  "(pause out of disbelief).....NO, I don't think that has anything at all to do with it..."

It's people like this that give credence to racism.
