I keep doing this, it's very hot outside and I have to spend a lot of time in the sun or in the car that was parked in the sun prior so I'm very thirsty by the time I get the opportunity to go to a shop. The lines can be long at the cashier's desk so I just sip the drink while waiting. I don't feel ashamed as I consider it basically mine at the point already. However an old lady scolded me to day while I was waiting in this line telling me I should not be driving something I have not bought yet, saying it's very inappropriate and that I should be ashamed. Am I wrong for doing this, is this immoral?

Assuming that all he did was show up, read his book, and then leave rather than show up and go out of his way to harass people (which he very well may have done when the camera was off of him; in this hypothetical, I’m asking about strictly just showing up to read and then leave, though)

Edit: I don't think I was clear enough, I'm referring to the scenario and the man's reaction to the answer.

Edit: there is certainly a lot of sides to this. Personally, I think it may be in bad taste but was done out of appreciation for the character instead of trying to insult black people. However, I completely understand why people would think it is wrong. I posted this mostly to get a variety of opinions because I think this could be a very grey situation and works completely of personal world views.

Edit 2: After more contemplation and discussion with users, I think my stance has changed a bit. I think the woman’s actions are amoral because of intent but it would be hard to accept that kind of action on a macro scale. She might have had good intentions but it opens the door for bad actors to get away with doing blackface in the name of “cosplay accuracy” which becomes real problematic it. She probably shouldn’t have done this and the action unintentionally becomes immoral when you think with modern discourse.
