All I have to compare it to are the experiences in my life having been the victim of racism numerous times and I don't think I've suffered any long term effects.

I dunno about emotional scars, but a lot of the racism I've experienced in my life always seem to stand out. The teens on the bus who yell "Wow it sure is NIPPY out there." The 10-year old in Italy or the kid back in Jr. High or the random guys driving by who made the slanty eyes gestures at me. The old man in Banff who told me to "Go back to where you came from" despite my best efforts to be polite to him. I was born here, d*****. The fact that most of these came from a younger generation, and not an older generation is kinda sad.
Yeah the lady probably doesn't deserve prison time or to have her kid taken away. But seriously, this bull**** has to stop.
