So I was just supposed to let that bigot freely harass me whenever he felt like it? Maybe I should apologise for being Greek while I'm at it.
Would you be telling a black guy the same thing if some white bigot went up to him in the gym and told him he smells simply because he doesn't like the colour of his skin?
Racism isn't some minor incovinience that exists in a vacuum, in one way or another, it WILL effect us all at some point in our lives. You can either sit by apathetically and let bigots create more irrational hatred in a vicious cycle or you can stand up to it and let them know it's neither ok nor acceptable to behave the way that guy did.
