Annoyance

I was talking to my Native buddy and he was telling me a story about one time that his family was in the hospital waiting on someone who was getting surgery or something, but him and his family were wearing like sandals and shorts and all that since it was a nice day and someone in the hospital came up to them and asked, "are you guys Samoan?" Granted, him and his family could be classified as a little larger, but either way I see that as a kind of racism. I know that if I was wrongly classified because of what I was wearing, it would bug me. It is easy for me to be classified, since I am white. But if I had the same problems as those guys, it would really bug me a lot. Especially since that happens a lot.
