Addendum:
That was quick. The story broke yesterday, when I drafted this post. From this morning’s local rag:

- Racism takes many forms, some much more subtle than others.
- Rudeness is rudeness is rudeness. Politeness includes refusing to do things that others would find hurtful.
- Dumb takes many forms. Really, how many of you forward emails without at least glancing over them?
- Grown-ups should know how to behave in public.
