I was in a Starbucks lineup a few days ago when two women in front of me broke into a pretty lengthy racist rant.
They were talking about Trump and how awful he was, but then one said "white people shouldn't be allowed to be in control of anything anymore" and it devolved into quotes such as "white people are ruining the world", "white men are the cause of 99% of the world's problems", "white men will destroy the planet with climate change and nuclear war", etc.
I was pretty sickened but I didn't say anything. What would you have done in my situation? And how do you typically react when you witness racism in person?
