Well done! As Gandhi once wisely noted, “if you don’t play by the rules your adversary sets up, the game can’t be played.” By NOT playing by the rules your fare invoked by reacting in kind to his racial slur, but instead treating him with respect and consideration, you broke the feedback loop that perpetuates racial hatred on both sides. Bravo! 🙏
