What indication is there that race has anything to do with it? Nothing wrong with calling out actual acts of racism, but someone having the cops called on them for a stupid reason is not racist.

When it keeps happening to black people over and over .. A pattern starts to he form .

You do realize people get the police called on them for stupid things every day right? Just because a few incidents go viral due to our silly culture of being interested in stupid things does not mean this is some epidemic. This is especially true when people insert race into an incident like this without first establishing a racial motivation. I'm not going to be someone who says racism doesn't happen, but I feel there are many aspects vastly overblown by the media in trying to paint the world as a haven for racists.

Well I used an expired coupon at McDonalds and while the cashier noticed it, got approval from manager to use it, no police were called.
I'm Asian.

If you're actually being serious, the qualifier here is that this particular guy is a moron at the very minimum. You can tell something is wrong with him from how he is shaking. The problem is applying a racial motivation without actually having any proof. If he had A) been known to cause trouble for only black patrons B) used any kind of derogatory language C) been known to associate with some kind of supremacist group, etc then it would not be farfetched to apply a racial motivation to this. But the only qualifier in this situation, from the facts given, is that he, a white person, called the police on a black person for, from the facts given, a very stupid reason. Unless given proper racial motivation, the title should be "man calls police on woman for "expired" coupon" and the story should be that he is a moron.
