I visited a couple of years ago and since I’m the correct shade of mayo, I wasn’t given any shit, but the employees all looked hella tired of the workload. I imagine they were ready to snap the moment someone plays a smartass or something. It was noisy and busy. Of course it was also Friday or Saturday evening at JFK. I imagine if they had more workers to handle the load, there’d be fewer bad experiences. Not that the racists would stop racisting, but more that there might be plenty who aren’t racist at all but will still give people shit just because they’re overworked.
JFK, Miami, and a few other international airports have long been on the avoid list for frequent business travelers due to their terrible immigration/passport control experiences.
