No, I tied our history of slavery to the widespread abuse of service workers, and working class people more generally. This is not in anyway hyperbolic. Go read W.E. Dubois on wage labor. Or look at the distribution of service vs. professional-class jobs among minorities prior to and after the Civil Rights Movement. I likewise witnessed plenty of anti-black racism directed at my coworkers in these settings, both from customers and management. But that has no prior context in American history and was invented solely in the wickedness of individual hearts. Sure, okay.
You tried to attached the American cultural norm of manners and courtesy to their history of black slavery.
"Get a grip" is a pretty mild response to something so absurd, hyperbolic, and flat out insulting.
