I (m, 40, Hispanic) was at a party with a group of friends, including a friend I have known since childhood, Sarah (f, 39). Sarah made a racist comment about Mexicans. It really caught me off guard and I felt like I had been punched in the gut. I sat there trying to process what was going on and trying to decide how to respond.<br><br>I should have spoken up, but I didn't. I didn't say anything at the time. Days went by and I just stopped returning her calls and texts. My other friends started asking me why I wasn't responding to her and I just said I don't like racist people.​<br><br>Sarah recently reached out and called me and asked me what was going on. I told her how racist it was to make a blanket statement about any racial group of people. I told her that she made the comment in front of a Hispanic man, and it was offensive and unethical to say something so hateful. I said she owes everyone at that party, especially me, an apology. She kept arguing with me and saying that she wasn't talking about me when she made the comment. I said she owes me and everyone else at that party an apology for making a racist comment. She kept arguing and said she didn't owe anyone an apology. She kept saying she wasn't talking about me. I told her to stop making excuses for her behavior. She said she wasn't going to apologize for something she didn't do. I told her that I think she owes me an apology and if she doesn't think that she owes me an apology, then I'm going to ghost her.<br><br>She said she doesn't think she owes me an apology. I said I'm going to ghost her. She said I shouldn't ghost her because she's my friend. I said I'm going to ghost her. Then I hung up.
