And by the by, thank your kid for going to Colorado Springs instead of Annapolis. We neither need nor want that kind of idiocy at Navy.

I'm sorry, but I fail to see what part of your above comment is your attempt at "trying to have a reasonably intelligent conversation here about basic economic and business principles".

Her comments had nothing to do with economics and everything to do with racism. There was nothing reasonable about what she said, and likely nothing reasonable in my response.

Shock value? Sure.
Should people stand up, take notice, and comment when they see racism? I believe so.
Will anything I said change her opinion? Probably not.
Will she think before she says something that bigoted again? I can only hope so.
