I read this and said no way at first. Then I thought about my experiences with coaches over the years. It does have some merit. I also think over time your personality will be the deciding factor with your treatment. Most coaches want to know what they are getting in an official. If you are black and you are fair then they will eventually accpept what you are doing. Now, they will not like it all of the time but they will accept it for the most part. There are coaches that will never learn how to conduct themselves on the sideline but they want consistent calls. So, sure they might have treated you that way because you are black or it could be that you're a rookie. Stay at it and it will all even out.
