[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here replying with what actually happened since people seek to think it matters so much as far as my response:

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.

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

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. [/quote]
