The problem is that people & organisations (including the police) these days are terrified of the consequences of being accused or found guilty of racism, so they tend to err on the side of caution to protect themselves or their business.
On the other side of the coin, there may be a personality clash, or a situation that you describe, that has nothing to do with racial prejudice. However, these days very few people are publically & openly racist as it's often illegal or deemed to be socially unacceptable.
What they do instead is to find fault with them via another avenue to get at them, whilst hiding their true feelings.
Until we can find a way to mind read, all companies, the judiciary & individuals can do is make a decision based on the information available to them.
