Stereotyping isn't racist. It's miseducated. Trust me, I've been hit with four different minorities and I've known racism. Having a stereotype like this situation is an opportunity to teach something. It's not worth being an asshat over. Funny thing is, everyone is so quick to scream racism instead of sitting the person down and reeducating. If a friend of mine says, -typical stereotype- I calm my want to be angry and I tell them the truth and try to get them to understand why it's a stereotype and why they shouldn't think that way. If all you do is heave and bitch about them being racist you haven't solved ANYTHING.

Sorry, ran out of edit time. I reread your comment and wanted to delete that last sentence. You did say he should talk to her, not just scream racism and leave it at that. But it's still not racism either way.

really? open communication and working on a relationship is thrown out the window by 1 mistake that they (most probably) never talked about? Wow. I guess it's easy just to give up and move onto the "next new thing" huh? You will forever be alone/divorced I guess and always wonder why. "Oh no, my significant other totally didn't put up the toilet seat even though I never asked them to... BREAK UP" ???!!!
