Good Lord... he's never been a REAL engineer a day in his life!
His entire "work" career is 6 years at IBM as a "product manager", 1.5 years as a "Software Director" and the remaining 25+ years of his career is in diversity outreach.
His only "certifications" are for a "diversity professional" which he only got right after the Summer of Love.
His engineering and observational skills are SO good that, as a 50+ year old guy wearing a college jacket and some guy makes tries to make small talk about his jersey being a college basketball one - he immediately thinks the guy is calling him a basketball coach because of his color.
Why not gently correct the "seat mate" and say proudly "no no, i'm the newly annointed diversity political commissar" I mean... you're proud of your work in promoting racism, right?
Dude literally just said "basketball?" and the prick immediately invented a lynching story in his head. God forbid you try to find out if a stranger in a college shirt likes basketball just after (or during if he's been holding that grudge for a while) march madness.

He probably even invented the guy saying basketball.
Yo black man. You play basketball because you're black, right?
That was definitely the genesis of the conversation.
"...and everyone clapped!"
Just occurred to me that this is just another variation of “It’s MA’AM!”
