I’m white but lived in a black neighborhood in Chicago for part of the 1990s. I tried to get a plumbing firm from a nearby white neighborhood to come and clear a sewer pipe blocked by a tree root. Everything was fine until I gave him the address of the house (in a black neighborhood). Sorry we don’t service that neighbohood, ma’am. Click. Prejudice sometimes means that they won’t even take your money.
