Quote:
There is a 20-stone Eastern European guy who's a regular at the poker club I used to go to who is known to own a nearby strip club, and who knows what else he's into behind the scenes. He is very loud, sometimes very rude at the tables, trying to crush and bully people he doesn't like. He always has other guys with him lurking in the background. He drops a lot of money, so it's a running joke that if you spend £20 on a lapdance at his club, £19.50 goes to him to feed his poker losses. Now, if (taking my life into my own hands) I was to jibe him at the tables with "I know you make all your money from strippers anyway", would I be being "racist" because he happens to be from Eastern Europe?
Same situation as in the OP.
In the OP, the woman was referring to a black person as being a drug dealer, presumably for no reason other than he is black, hence she is being racist.
In your example, you are referring to someone who owns a strip club as being someone who makes money from stripper, presumably because it is true. How are these the same?
