Message: [QUOTE="KnightBridgeAZ, post: 3132474, member: 591"] If you believe it is racist to be ignorant of history, ignorant or uncaring of how words can be hurtful to folks of different background, and if you don't recognize the difference in what your life has been like versus many folks disadvantaged by race - then you would identify them as racist. I just call them ignorant. It is still wrong, it is rude, it is a lot of things - but to me racism is doing something with the intent to be hurtful to someone of a different race, or mistreat them (intentionally), or think less of them because they are a different race than you. To me the closest she comes to racism is refusing to acknowledge that those remarks were inappropriate and hurtful to part of her team and her failure to apologize for her insensitivity. [/QUOTE]
