This happens all over. I have a very educated, beautiful, and wealthy friend who happens to be black. I am average white girl and she was followed around a store, asked if she needed help around 30x, and made to feel like she would shoplift for being in the store. And this was in a pretty liberal city. I was wearing ripped jeans, a rather worn shirt, and no one even bothered me. I looked like I wouldn't be able to afford anything in the store, where my friend looks like she could have bought the mall.

It has happened to me when attending a friend's birthday. I was pretty much told I didn't belong because I wasn't Mexican, despite being her friend for 10+ years. So this feeling happens no matter what country you are in. Being gay, being overweight, being darker/lighter, being a woman, etc can all lead to feelings of shitty outsider-ness.

I think you should speak with someone about this. I am not sure how therapy is where you live, I only have experience where I am. Your feelings are valid, but if you are treated well a majority of the time, you should probably figure out how to deal with the racism in a proactive way instead of just being upset about it.

Not to say you cannot be upset. But instead of letting the Terrorist comment slide, you could call the bank and make a complaint. Speak to your nursing program about how to deal with this sort of thing and make strides towards learning the policies. This way you will feel a little more incontrol instead of pushed to the side.
