    The article makes it appear as if she called the child a slur for no reason at all. Whether her excuse is valid is another question, but you can’t just leave that out.

        It’s all manufactured outrage if you ask me. They want you to get mad and stay mad so they can tell you who to hate and what to do about it instead of doing something productive with your life.

        Without social media and the Internet, none of us would have ever heard about this incident (or others like it), unless it happened to someone we actually know, and our lives would have likely been better for it. Definitely more peaceful.

      She basically did. I don’t see a reason for taking her motives into account whatsoever. If she was a kindergartner you’d say something like “I don’t wanna hear it! You don’t call people that.” and that would be the end of it.
