I was wondering more about your partners prejudices than yours. I was assuming that since the inner-city school asked you to ref, you probably didn't have a lot of prejudice -- at least not against black kids. Are you prejudice against suburban whites? Perhaps a little. I know I tend to favor black inner-city kids a little sometimes -- I live in the inner city and all my kids have attended inner city schools. But I suspect you have probably dealt with it more than the other guy had. Refs are confronted by these types of situations more than many folks are, and it appears to me that most have dealt with the issue and are pretty un-biased. There is the occasional person who hasn't.

And of course, there's always the possibility that the guy was just a homer and race didn't have a lot to do with it.
