Everyone? Generalizations don't seem very helpful, or accurate, here.

As for me, I didn't say that the family sounded "racist," nor did I mean to imply it. I said that his mother's response bothered me. I said that not because I thought it sounded racist, but because I thought it sounded controlling and indifferent to her son's opinions.

As someone not part of any minority group, I agree completely. That's why I said I was interested in hearing the reactions and thoughts of members of the Divine Nine.
