You are my hero for standing up to her right there. I tend to get flummoxed and speechless when people do something incredibly bigoted and stupid. I don’t know why it surprised me.

But you know what? I’m sad that it wasn’t surprising to you. That makes me saddest of all–knowing the bullshit you face because of the colour of your skin.

It’s stories like this that deplete my faith in humanity, and it’s words like yours and courage like yours and your way of exposing this ugliness that refuels that very same faith. I am so sorry that this happened to you, and I am so sorry that this continues to happen to anyone. Sending love and vicarious anger from here! [PS. my first comment from Harvard Square on your blog... eeeek transitions!]

All of them.

I thought that at this point, I would be able to brush things like this off but then realised that I shouldn’t be brushing things like this off. Your support means a lot to me :)

Although I really shouldn’t have been. Instructor is cool people.

Kudos to you for putting that tasteless piece of crap where she belongs…

How I laughed when she went telling tales and got her racist butt kicked out the door. I am trying to imagine the conversation…

Woman: Excuse me, I want to report some abusive behaviour by someone in the class
Instructor: Please point her out to me
Woman (pointing to you): That one over there:
Instructor: What did she do exactly?
Woman: She called me a racist sack of shit and said that she would rather rub salt into an open wound than touch me…
Instructor: You are so right, no one deserves to be on the end of such behaviour and I will not tolerate that in my class
Woman *smug* Thank you
Instructor: So get the hell out of my class…
Woman *confused* I don’t….
Instructor: and take your ignorant twittery with you…
**Cue applause**

Long live Stereo!

MY GOD! i really don’t know what to type right here – i really don’t. i am proud as hell of you, but pissed off beyond words that you had to deal with this woman, with this crap. proud of you, proud of you, but hate that it must’ve hurt you somewhere. proud that you can knock that hurt back and come out swinging if necessary. you are indeed what the world needs more of.
