How do you respond to open racism?

We were casually chatting at a school event. The school, which is a private school and heavily Hispanic in population, had some work done on the grounds which wasn’t done all that well. She said “this is going to sound racist but it looks like something Mexicans would do.” I told her that was offensive and walked away upset. She texted an apology and said what she said was in bad taste and inferred it wasn’t a good joke.

My spouse is Latino.

Block her number and move on. There is no reason to associate with this person in any way.

I would reply and tell her that it it not just a joke or comment but it comes from a place of thinking which means she is racist at heart and that for her to think it is okay to say it out loud to anyone is even worse. Sadly she looks down on Mexicans and even more sad if she says that sort of thing to you she must also say it in front of her kids.

I tell my mixed child this all the time. I told him to keep his ears open and take note.

Disgusting. Your abomination should serve as a warning to others not to race mix with monkeys.

Ok, if it's about your husband's race then you have the right to be upset. It would be OTT for a race that didn't involve you.

Are you serious?

I'm white, and I am deeply offended anytime I hear someone say something racist. There have been times when I've been too chicken to speak up and I regret that.

Not PP but say that to my face next time you coward. Real big sh9t talker behind anonymity.
Not reporting this comment because when people say racism doesnt exist they can come see that people do believe this and they live among us.

Is there really a difference between republicans and maga at this point?

It’s just like the difference between Democrats and progressives.
Neither party should be judged by its extremists.

Well, non-MAGA Republicans get shunned by the MAGA crowd, so there's some judging going on there.
