82. It sounds as if this young woman had some great upbringing.

If one of my sons said something like this:

" “You have to leave. I have not seen my family in two years. We are not going to sit her and listen to your racist bullshit. You are smiling because you think I’m kidding. I’m not. You have to leave”," I'd be bursting with pride and having raised them.

(I am bursting with pride over them, but for different things.)

You did well. Kudos to the Mom here.
