The South that long ago was a different time and culture. Most don't hold it against folks like Robert E. Lee or many of the founding fathers that they actually owned slaves. She was simply a product of the culture she grew up in. If she's now reformed, I hardly see the relevance today.

As far as the antebellum restaurant concept... a little strange? Yeah. Does it necessarily mean she's racist if she was considering an antebellum concept that actually looked antebellum? Maybe? I dunno. To her credit, the idea was never more than a discussion.
