I ' m not glad it had to happen at all , but I am glad that my immediate reaction was to challenge her , and that I followed through on it . At the same time -- it 's been quite a while since I ' ve felt that vague icky discomfort . The kind that comes from suddenly realizing , oh , not everyone 's " tolerant " in the world , and here I am in the minority . There 's something wrong with me just because I exist , right ?

Question: What may have caused you to feel an icky discomfort ?
Answer: I was being prejudiced .People were prejudiced .I felt like I did n't exist .I was forced to challenge her .
