I didn't want to take too much of his time, but I just wanted to at least send him a personal message because I wasn't sure he'd see it if I just posted in the thread. Wasn't much and he'd already answered my questions in the thread. He acknowledged it and was surprised that he was getting messages and media inquiries from around the world.

That might have just been my interpretation of the look on her face. I think maybe she was looking at me to see if I was offended and was expecting me to jump in, or she felt like it wasn't her place to argue given that I was standing there - it's like she was walking on eggshells and didn't want to get anything wrong which seems to (understandably) be the position of a lot of people. She definitely wasn't racist, and it wasn't like she said "oh hey, a black guy, tell this man why he's wrong!" I could have easily not said anything.
