Thought this was the closest category to post the questions later in this posting. This happened to me one time in DC where the population is predominantly black. I'm Asian-American. As I was pushing my cart in a supermarket and was about to pass a black guy in an aisle, he muttered a few slurs like ch*ng ch*ng and ch*nk. Right after passing each other and then looking back at each other, he just smirked and walked away. When I called DCPD to ask what could've been done about those kinds of situations, they said nothing really unless it culminates to him verbally threatening or actually perpetrating physical violence against me. Then in fairness, I could've just called him the n-word, walked away smirking or laughing, and cops couldn't do anything about it either. Right? And a cop can't do anything about it either even if anyone racially taunts him and just walks away smirking/laughing but poses no physical threat at all?
