YOU may not see it, but it does exist and go on just not blatantly.
The "Race Card" means that no one else can argue with you...no one can debate you. Guys like this can give a sketchy example on how he was discriminated against...and since its a personal account, no one can challenge it, nor can he really defend it. It just brings discussion and debate to a screeching halt. The Race Card has less to do with race issues as it does with being anti-social and anti-competitive. "I have nothing to interesting add to this debate...so let me pull out my race card."
