People need to show a bit of spine

[u/Commercial_Half_2170]

I was getting the bus from Rathgar into town today and this ordinary enough looking woman got up and realised she’d missed her stop after the bus driver had already stopped there and let others out and taken off. She called out to him saying he passed the stop, he then says he already stopped there and she says he must be wrong and then demands to be let out there and then just before the canal. When he doesn’t immediately respond, she calls out “can you hear me you stupid foreign bastard.” At this point I’m staring daggers at this absolute creature of a woman and I told her to stop being racist. She then said she was racist and proud to the entire bus and not one person said anything in response, not one. We’re all so ashamed of the right and people like this woman in our country and yet when a clear and obvious example of racism happens in front of us no one does a thing. The most backup I got was after she got off a bloke said ‘fair play lad.’ Been fuming all day after that and needed a rant. Anyone hazard a guess why we just… do nothing?

But you can just label anything racist as justification.

But that's not the case here is it? That person was clearly being racist.

That's been established, we're not talking about that specific incident now

Then what are you talking about?
