"I’m a teacher. I was talking with one of my co-workers when another co-worker walked in and started talking about how worried she was that her daughter was going to Ecuador.

She said she was scared because her daughter is 'white, tall, and blonde, and is going to be surrounded by Mexicans.' My response: 'Well, they aren’t Mexican. They are from Ecuador.' Her response: 'Well, whatever. Same thing.' I replied with, 'Nope, not the same thing. That’s racist and I’m offended,' and then I walked out of the room.

There was some very serious tension the rest of the school year until it boiled down to the both of us sitting in the main office to have a mediation session. She apologized for her comment stating, “I’m not racist, I work in a school that has African-Americans!” She then asked me to apologize for calling her racist. I didn’t."
