Brinley, Just another approach from a former teacher. College procedures for difficulty with instructrs differ from high school. Talk to your student advisor and read your student handbook and syllabus as soon as possible. They give you specific procedures.
Most colleges and universities detail the procedure for dealing with an instructor. Most are that you make an appointment with him and outline the problem, in writing if necessary. In many institutions, you only delay results and possible sabotage your case by not following prescribed procedure (unless of course you are dealing with sexual harassment or the like).
I agree with Interpretrator. You say you aren't playing the race card, but you have certainly told others here that it's in your hand ready to be played. I can tell you from long experience that unless you have good documentation of the race issue that it will only muddy the waters.
Good luck. I hope you receive fair treatment and this unpleasantness is the worst you encounter in your college career. I had an instructor who seemed to hate me on sight. I managed to scrape through her class with a B-, less than my A average, but I was so glad to put her behind me that I felt lucky. From then on, when I felt any such vibes (twice in eight years of college and grad school), I dropped one class immediately and followed procedures on one I couldn't drop. In that case, the animosity disappeared.
Again, good luck and stay careful. Life is full of people who make life hell.
