Face-to-face racial taunting exceeds the level of basic name-calling in my book. But everyone is different. Everyone has their own life experiences that help mold the decisions they make. And what some people see as trivial might mean the world to someone else. And we all have to decide for ourselves which battles we choose to fight and which ones to walk away from.
