Ok. . .I do think it's racism. It's pretty darn subtle and maybe not intentional. . .but racism all the same. I don't think I would be too offended though.

If I dropped my wallet and a black person picked it up and gave it back to me, I would say:

"OMG! Thank you so much!"

NOT

"Wow, there really are honest black people out there."
