Can it be called discrimination?

#

Recently I had a bad experience with a cashier at Circuit City ignoring me just because I was his kind. I have seen that quite a bit and I am not sure why it happens. In other races, I have seen a lot of happiness in serving your own type of people, but with Indians, I have seen that a lot of folks behave negatively with other Indians.

What is at the bottom of this sentiment? Sure, there are still a majority of Indians who act equally with non-Indians as with Indians and there are still more Indians who like Indians than not.

But where is the bad feeling coming from for the rest of the folks? I am not sure.

But I did write to Circuit City about it and they are apparently going to have the store call me and talk about it.
