I think when you’re a minority in a place, it’s best to stay in your own lane. Not trying to justify the floor’s actions, but you shouldn’t be trying to needle someone else at the table, especially when you’ve already been kicked out before. The action there is amazing. Just suck it up and take their money.
At the very least, at least now you can see what minorities have to face on a regular basis.
Yeah, Magic City Casino poker room and Hialeah Casino poker room are similar with a lot of Spanish being spoken and mostly non-white players. I think if you're playing there as a white person, you just have realize your environment and try not get into any situations (even if you aren't doing anything wrong, such as it sounds was the case with Lex). Granted, he probably shouldn't have made the belly jingling comment.
Also, I would have been totally fine with the three cops outside as I was escorted out. This guy was just yelling at you and wanting to fight outside. In today's world, he could have been out there waiting for you with a gun.
