And you have to give her a lot of credit. Yo udid not see her yelling or screaming. She didn't hit anybody. She said she did not want to discuss it, and went on her way. When he apologised, she accepted his apology.
What more should she have done? I can't see that I would have handled it that differently.

I thought at the restaurant she was a little harsh. And she did raise her voice to him. She wasn't yelling/screaming or anything, but she got really...fiesty about it. I understand her getting upset about it. But at the same time, I don't think he said that's what he believed in...he was saying what his uncle would tell him. I never got the impression he too believed that. If he did, then maybe that's another story.
Like I said, she could have tried to see where he got that point of view (if he shared his uncle's point of view as well) and tried to educate him that black people ARE educated and do go to college, etc. Instead, she told all that stuff to the camera and NOT to him. To me, it just seemed like he was trying to tell her what he grew up around and why his uncle didn't hire black people. Also, her not speaking to him for a whole day and waiting for him to apologize....hmm, that was a little dramatic. I mean, I guess cuz I didn't think he meant to offend her. But that's just me. I'll have to watch it again...perhaps I missed something.
