Why do people think I'm a gold digger?

Why am I a gold digger? I ask this because this is what a guy said about me. Some guy on the public bus yelled out. that the reason the seat next to me was empty was because I was a gold digger because I didn't talk to any "poor black men". Now people think I'm a gold digger.

I've heard on multiple occasions people saying that I was a gold digger. Even 2 guys were trying to check if I was a gold digger. I was one the bus. I was the only female on it. There were four other males on it. Two guys were talking loudly about how one of them had got a new job. That there were still positions open. One of the guys said how he was making a lot of money. He was also talking about the hours available. The job location was a walkable distance from my house. I was happy to hear that there was a job so close by that apparently had good pay. I didn't show it, but I was jumping around in my head at the possibility of getting a job like that. They eventually stop talking about it. But later when more people got on the bus, I heard them talking again. They were talking lower that time. They were saying that they were surprised how the girl didn't react, how they thought that she was a gold digger. How maybe one of the guys didn't make enough money for her to be interested. How maybe his job didn't impress her. Remember I was the only female at the time on the bus when they were talking about the job. They were talking about me.

I'm a black female. I'm 19. I've never been with a guy. I have no experience dating. I rarely speak to anybody. I'm shy and quiet. I try to keep to myself. I have never used a guy for money. I don't know where people even got that I was a gold digger from. Guys insult me a lot. A lot. There has not been one day that I haven't rode the bus without a guy insulting me. Now they call me a gold digger. Why?
