You are right of course.  But most often, when caucasians and blacks are to be 
serviced in any circumstances or any where in this planet, the choice will 
automatically favour the caucasion as suupposed to the Blacks.  I can give you 
plenty of examples.  The latest, after I rented a car with Hertz in Florida, I 
took the bus from the airport to the Hertz company to pick up the car,  the 
driver of the bus let every caucasian travelers get on the bus without showing 
their receipts.  We were four blacks and he came right to us and asked us to 
show proof that we were renting a car.
Another example:  I traveled first class Air France to Paris from New York.  I 
was the only black traveling first class.  The stewardess came and asked me for 
my boarding pass and she did not ask all the other caucasians who were sitting 
in first class for their boarding pass.  They were all served first and when I 
requested a meal that was on the menu, I was told that they no longer had that 
meal.  I made a lot of noise.  I never traveled since with Air France.
Another example, my girlfriend was getting married and went to the Hilton Hotel 
in New York to reserve a room and to plan the wedding there.  She is a 
beautiful "Marabout" (meaning beautiful black woman) - She was told that it was 
completely booked. I told my friend that I am sure that it was not true and 
arranged for my caucasian girlfriend to meet with the Hilton Lady.  As soon as 
my caucasian friend arrived to the Hilton, she was taken care right away and 
there was plenty of rooms and vancant reception halls for the date of the 
wedding.  To make a long story short, the wedding did take place at the Hilton 
but someone else took over to organize it.

I can come up with many examples but I will highlight the most common one that 
you know of, Haitian immigrants vs Cuban immigrants in the United States.
