Let me clarify, I believe I did a bad job naming this thread. I didn't mean to say the provider is racist, I just meant to say that if you don't want to see someone for whatever reasons do it, but don't say words that might imply bad things. I can't judge anyone and I don't like to as well.

Not sure what you mean by you "can't judge."
And this may not be what you meant (probably isn't), but when people say they don't judge or ask not to be judged, it's just bullshit.
Like it or not, we all judge, 24/7/365. There is no stopping it. It is an innate human response to external stimuli (man, that sounds smart!). We judge the safety of situations, we judge the looks of people we see on the street, we judge the character of people we meet, and we judge ourselves, too.
What this bit of sophistry really means, IMO, is "don't judge
negatively."
No one objects to being judged as wonderful or pretty/handsome, do they? Have you ever seen or read this:
Jane: you're a very smart and handsome person
Tom: WHO ARE YOU TO JUDGE ME?!?!
Of course not.
Now, expressing negative judgments when it isn't necessary is an altogether different thing. Only a nut stops their car on S Congress to tell someone, "you know, you'd be much more attractive if only you'd...." At the same time, expressing a positive judgment isn't always smart. Only a nut starts telling a woman how beautiful she is and then graphically details what he'd like to do bcd when her undefeated Ultimate Fighting Champion husband is standing next to her.
On the boards, as in real life, it comes down to propriety. What to say when. And when to say nothing. Most people need to learn (I admit it took me long enough) that every thought in your head doesn't need to leave your mouth.
The OP reveals a distinct lack of propriety by the provider who did not have to get into any reasons why she declined, least of all expressing fear of being robbed. That sure sounds like it could be racist, but who knows? That's a charge that becomes more and more meaningless by the day (thanks, PC Left!). As others have mentioned, the recent drama with Li'l Shameboy (kingman) could be the reason. I still don't think that is a good enough excuse to say dumb shit.
