Yeah, dark-skinned people just walk around all the time feeling entitled to be treated the same as everyone else. Those guards sure showed her.
Racist, or just careful?

Of course. She should just suck it up, like she does every other day. The notion that she was in formal wear, ostensibly an equal in a group, and there by invitation should in no way make her think she's really welcome in that group. It's her fault for allowing herself to be vulnerable. Right?
Well, since she was born and raised in Texas, I'm sure she does. It would be pretty odd for an American to have no notions at all about America and Americans in general, don't you think? Or, were you just spouting off?
If it sensational, you don't have to care that it's true?
I just offered you several examples.
Perhaps if I got the "correct" response more often, you'd see something different.

Sorry dude, I just don't believe everything I read. And I've found in these situations much more often than not there are two sides to the story.
Well I don't know that's an interesting question. She identifies herself as an American but then she contantly refers to "you" people in the article. Who is "you" people - white people? black people? everyone that was mean to her in her life? everyone in America other than her?
Your tendency to fall back on remarks like, we are just assuming that a "dark skinned person" is lying, either points to your inability to respond in an appropriate manner or that you yourself have race issues.
I have allowed for the possibility that this is a case were the woman was a victim of racism. It is entirely plausible. You however have never even considered that it is anything else.

Perhaps the amount of support your conclusion is garnering is indicative of how correct it is.
Fact of the matter is, you are speculating, just like the rest of us.
I find it highly amusing that to you the "correct" response equals your response.

So then why do people need borders, different countries, religions and different languages? I think because people like it that way. Because for some national pride is something what is more important then minor economical or political advantages. Slovaks wanted to be independant. Same with numerous other nations. We actually see more separations now then super/multicultural countries. See even Sudan coul not coexist as one country with muslims and christians and needed to split into north and south due to religion.
Lets raise theoretical question, what is more likely to happen in N.America's three biggest countries - some of parts separating or those nations actually joing into one big happy N.America? My bet is on separation.

I do not believe it is a good examples except Switzerland.
However in America especially you have every race, credd, religion and nationality on earth represented. The US is truly the melting pot of the world. Do we have our problems? Of course we do but it is a shinning example, and proof, to the world that no matter your skin tone, country of origin, ethnicity, language, religion, sex... you can live side by side.
