-Is weirded out that more people are more vocally indignant about interracial marriage than about this woman being arrested (and detained without care for nine hours) for a health issue. *Hint: it ain't just LJ.

-Is sorting out her feelings on being that black friend.

-Is filled with Victorian tidbits she hopes to craft into a fantasy story for NaNoWriMo. Gas lamps and the otherworldly. <3

-Is wondering why she runs away from social situations, but really not all that surprised every time it happens.

It's easier for white folks to point to the overt racist who simply won't marry people than to deal with a team of people who straight up could have killed that poor woman, and to think about the fact that they have probably done similar before, and will again, and no one has done shit.

Pretty much.

It's debunkingwhite on a larger scale. "Ha ha! Look at that racism over there! Aren't we enlightened?"
