Everyone seems to be in such a hurry to scream 'racism' these days. (In India it is the Dalit factor)

A customer asked, "In what aisle could I find the 'Sarson Da Tel'?" (Mustard OIL)

The clerk says "you a Bengali"

The guy, clearly offended, says, "Yes I am. But let me ask you something.
If I had asked for Italian Olive Oil, would you ask me if I was Italian?
Or if I had asked for German Bratwurst, would you ask me if I was German?
Or if I asked for a kosher hot dog would you ask me if I was Jewish?
Or if I had asked for a Taco, would you ask if I was Mexican?
Or if I asked for some Irish whiskey, would you ask if I was Irish?

The clerk says, "No, I probably wouldn't."

The guy says, "Well then, because I asked for 'Sarson Da Tel', why did you say I am a Bengali?"

The clerk replied, "Because you're in a Liquor Store."
