I was thinking the same thing, Lisa just beat me to it. Racism/prejudice is all around and it exists in EVERY culture with EVERY group of people (caucasians, latinos, african-americans, asians, etc). Let's be honest- it will always be there, but like Lisa said, it's what we do with it that's important. It's easy to judge people you don't know- we all do it. Education and understanding can cure a lot of those irrational prejudices/misunderstandings.

I'm truly sorry that your work friend is being so crappy to you. She's not even worth an ounce of upset stomach or dizzying head.
