I think she was just stupid enough to make those remarks and I hope she is being punished for that. Otherwise, this is wrong.
- sqeaky 9y agoYou are presuming people or racism is logical. It is common for someone to say one thing then mean another, it is so common we even have words for it. It is also entirely possible the racist person did this intentionally to maximize the inconvenience to the renter. There are hundred other ways to explain this. Some racist and some not racist, but dropping phrases as overtly racist as hers has a way of sounding truthful in situation like this.
- anotherbrownguy 9y ago>dropping phrases as overtly racist as hers Which "words" are we talking about? Had she avoided saying "one word: Asian", this would not have been a story.
- mikeash 9y agoDon't leave out "I will not allow this country to be told what to do by foreigners." I'm sure someone will try to argue that "foreigners" isn't racist because race and country of origin are different, but the intent is obvious enough.
