I mean it when I say that all I felt for this person was compassion, empathy, and understanding. I couldn’t blame them for being so severed from reality that they felt entitled to talk to me as if I were a bigot, when I was just a very recent immigrant who made a mistake that, according to what I’d been taught, wasn’t actually a mistake. This person was simply lost, completely untethered from life, with no sense whatsoever of what either justice or injustice meant or looked like. And it probably wasn’t even their fault.

SEVERED, UNTETHERED, NO SENSE gee I am at a loss as to why you didn't get a good reaction from this person even tho you're just a poor defenseless recent immigrant who didn't even make a mistake. Shades of narcissistic injury here...
