I agree, Rut. My first thought was, "How is that relevant here?" I understand there's been a lot of crap go on in this country, and that it's still out there; but throwing that into this context seemed strange at the time.
Part of me thinks I should have pushed her to accuse me to my face, in a calm manner, so we could discuss it. Or, I could have asked her what evidence she had to start accusing us of racism.
However, I think the situation was better served by letting it go, and my partner's comments weren't helpful either. Personally, I wonder if this wasn't her way of trying to ignite the situation further so people would take her complaint about a 5th grade boys game seriously.
