You've touched on something that's very significant. Not only are racists offensive and ignorant, they're also extremely entitled about it. When you call them out on it, they act all shocked and even hurt. It's bizarre that they stomp through life saying cruel, awful, and untruthful things, but if you say, "It's hurtful when you speak like that" they turn around and say, "How dare you?" You did the right thing. Lay down the law and set your boundaries. The constant media propaganda about people on welfare doesn't help, almost everybody in our country is ignorant of the fact that obscenely rich people get money for doing nothing. Thanks for the comment!
