Like 2 weeks ago I lost my oyster card I think it fell out my jacket pocket without me realizing so i've been walking to school. So on Friday I have to go to school early because I have morning intervention so I thought i'm kinda running late so I saw a bus coming and in my head I was thinking I have to get this bus or I might be late. So, I get on the bus and i'm like to the driver "Ayy boss man I lost my bus pass but a new one is coming in 2 weeks" then he starts looking at me (he was white as well) and he was just like "Alright but without your pass you can't get on" and then I was like "But it's coming in 2 weeks" then he was like "You still can't get on" then I just pointed to the door and he noded and I got off and had to walk.
The funny thing is last time when it was a black driver and I explained the same story to him and he was just like "Make sure you get your oyster" then he let me on.
Is there some sort of racism involved in this?
