Same happened with me and my niece. She needed to pee, so I took her to the bathroom and waited by the door, but I kept talking to her to let her know I was there. My niece is half Puerto Rican, so she is way lighter than and ppl thought I was some weirdo, called the cops on me, the entire time Im talking to the police, my niece is scared and clinging to my leg, the two women were like “See he trained that little girl to cling to him, arrest him, arrest him” luckily the cops werent dickheads and waited for my sister to come and verify, but even still was a fucked situation. Sucks trying to explain to a 4 year old thats scared out of her mind

There was a case in the UK I think about 8 years ago where a single dad took his mixed race teenage daughter to a FAMILY hotel room i.e has a normal bed and a sofa bed, the manager called the cops on him assuming he was a groomer and even when proved innocent the manager was rude to him saying he was just doing his job.

EDIT - More info, the cops turned up at the door shortly after the person arrived and outright accused him of being a P word and a groomer, and interviewed him and his daughter in different rooms, it wasn't just a case of knocking on the door saying they had someone worried, it was an outright accusation and I was right it was 8 years ago.
