That was kind of my point. Dr. Laura's response really had nothing to do with what this Jade chick was asking her. Instead of accusing this gal of being over-sensitive, she should have asked what she has done to try to remedy the situation, as well as give her some advice. Instead she went all "history of racism" on her.
