African Amazon driver delivering my products, was very polite and seemed to have good manners. He hadn’t scanned one of products, so he scanned the product while I was holding it. Hands touched, so I cleaned my hand with soap and poured 96% alcohol over my hands to disinfect them. Chat is this racist? If he was white I wouldn’t have done it btw

Leave that last sentence out, and you come of as a hypochondriac.
With the "if he was white...", you could be anywhere between just slightly racist, to KKK white robe racist, depending on context details.
@alyx nah, it’s just that I was afraid he had some disease he got in Africa. I was really polite, because he seemed like a very nice person. Only thing I did was disinfect my hands. He was clean and everything, not everything we do is rational
@alyx pretty sure plenty of people disinfected their hands at some point when dealing with me, especially when I looked crazy in the eyes because of mental illness, even if we both were white. Although I been good for 10 years now at some point I had crazy look
@BasedLunatic
And that's why context matters. Still, you're assuming just because he's from Africa, that he might carry a disease he got there. Technically racist. But in practice, it's one of those racisms that is kinda rational.
