I would ask her if our society has now produced people who get offended at every.single.thing under the sun? So there are rude people in the world... OMG!!! How can we survive???
Jeebus, GMAFB. These oversensitive mentally deranged creatures (liberals, lesbos, gayboys, transmorons, etc...) can't help getting offended b/c their antenna for such is a mile long. I used to have some great neighbors (mixed race couple) who were fantastic people... but I noticed just about anytime someone was rude to them (beeping a horn, something like farting, etc...), they almost always blamed it on the fact they were a mixed race couple. One instance they were telling me about ended (of course) that they must be racist and didn't like that they were a mixed race couple... however, the 'event' they were describing happened to me a few years ago and I told them that... what conclusion do I draw since I'm not a MR couple?
It's just rude people who do rude things regardless of whose around them.
