So last week I was finally going to purchase a PS3 after a lot of thought (I want to get a 60gig with BC) So I was going to go to Gamestop, but after so many sotries on here, i went to a best buy. So I walk into the best buy and go to customer service.
Me: Do you have any 60 gig PS3's in stock
CS: Umm.. yeah i think so
SO after a while she goes and gets the PS3, and I go to the counter to pay for it. And I pick up Resistance, Warhawk and Heavenly Sword
Cashier: Is that all.
Me: Yeah, oh and these three games (put games on counter)
Cashier: huh, really. You really want these games?
Me: Umm, yeah, why not?
Cashier: (laughing) nothing, anything else
Me: Do you think I shouldnt get them (im a conversational person)
Cashier: I mean, to be honest, I didn't know, you know, black people liked online shooters.
Me: huh? what makes you think that?
Cashier: I mean I have black friends (the most overused line ever), but I just didnt think you liked games like that, or even games like Heavenly sword. You know we got Madden on sale!
Me: Are you saying that I should pick up madden because im black?
Cashier: I mean thats what alot of black people get. But its usually for ps2. I didnt know black people liked PS3 either, its kind of a hardcore system. You know what blu-ray movies are, right?
At this point im more than annoyed so I just put my wallet back and leave. Go get something to eat and try and cool down, and say I'll just do this another day, but now I have no drive to get a PS3. I mean when I was out before, it was kind of an impulse buy. ( i just needed something to play) but I think i'll just wait till next year. (not because of the racist best buy employee, but I think i would have had some buyers remorse if I would have bought it then)....oh well. But yeah its time to end racism people.

That's aweful :(. I pity people that are so close minded that theyassume color has anything to do with purchasing preference.
