Oran, one of the stock responses of white people is to look for another reason for someone's racist behavior. "It must be because of..." No, it's not something else. Ask YOURSELF why you immediately want to find another reason for this white person's behavior. Was this example the easiest one for you to excuse? Can you explain the rest?

If the security person had warned the groups of white people in front of us to "get their checkbooks ready," then it still would have been none of his business, but he didn't ask that of the white patrons. He looked at us and presumed, probably not even consciously, that he was making a judgment about our finances based on skin color. It wasn't "nice." It wasn't "social." It was a racist dis. Please take my advice. Be aware of behaviors around you and observe how people act toward one another. You may be enlightened.
