It would only give them something to use against you (corral others to empathize with them). There are always going to be people who will use whatever arsenal they can to attack someone. It's such a shame. Sorry you had to experience that.

Glad you stood your ground. <br />It's sad to see a powerful word like that be thrown around, because it takes away from the very serious problem of racism that does exist.
