I'm basing this on we sat down to have a conversation...not I overhears someone that I wasn't talking with.


I might smirk...I might not.  It might take a second or two to find a gif on my phone to show you.

But, again, why wouldn't I tell someone I was having a conversation with that they said something racist?  Heck they might he might even tell me they didn't and we'd talk about it.  Voices might even get raised! <shudder>  As I said, I'd never want to come to blows over it, I'm no fighter.  But I'm not afraid to speak my mind...even in person.

Oddly this has turned (quickly) into someone sounding like they would be intimidating so no one would call a spade a spade.  

I didn't ask you would you tell someone they said something racist or homophobic; I asked you would you be quick to call someone a racist or homophobe.

I take you at your word that you would be just as quick to do so as you do in this forum.
