As a white dude, I would be horribly embarrassed to do something like that. I hope the guy in the story learned a lesson from it.

If this ever happens, all it needs is an acknowledgement of the mistake and an apology. It's very easy to fix!

You can apologize, sure, but in that situation I would absolutely judge you strongly for it regardless. Forever or until you proved you grew out of that kind of bullshit.

Frankly, I would not want to associate with people who bully people after a sincere apology.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I never said I'd bully anyone but I would absolutely remember behavior like that. You don't get to act like a bigot and then just say you're sorry. This isn't christianity where everyone has to be forgiven no matter how shitty they are. This is real life where your words and actions have consequences.

I suppose it depends on the apology, doesn't it? The person may not read social ques well.

Nah, we'll just disagree. The apology is you doing what you think you need to do to make it right or get out of a situation. What you said or did at first would be what you believed at the time. Immediately apologizing shows no growth at all.
