I don’t think I have ever said “rocked me to the core of my being” on anything. And there have been a plethora of occasions where one might claim.
I am still thinking it is just racial bias on the part of his race and his allegiance to it. It’s my opinion - everybody has one.
Oh I agree we all have a right to our opinion. I just hesitate to assign bad motives to a person I don’t know. The behavior of the frat boys was boorish and I understand how what they said may have a visceral impact on others like the gentleman which I don’t share.
