I'm sure that was the case, but what gives a person the right to attack people of color, homosexuals, etc., simply because they are having a bad day? Why is it excusable to use these groups as punching bags whenever desired? I'm pretty sure she'd be able to turn on the charm and be delightful and respectful on a normal day, but I'd still want nothing to do with her if that's what she looks like on a bad day - or behind closed doors.

She inadvertently insulted me as well, even though I was not there, and it made me absolutely furious.  What has she done that would make me want to ease her pain instead of my own? Why should I try to help her in her situation when my situation is probably much worse?
