Subway Action

So I'm in the subway going back home from work. As we make a stop somewhere I don't remember which exact stop, I see that there is exactly one empty seat between two black guys. The doors open such that anyone entering can immediately see that seat.

So this woman walks on, immediately eyeing the empty seat (as expected). Now, despite the fact that in no time that seat will be claimed by some moron, she first glances around the rest of the car, as if to say, "Uhh... I hope I don't have to sit next to this black guy."

Then, of course, seeing no other seat available, she takes the seat.

I thought that was weird.
