Ask Amy: College student worries about racism at home
– Confused
Dear Confused: Let's diagram this situation.
On second thought, let's not.
You are a nice person.
Your girlfriend is a jerk.
You performed an act of kindness.
She laughed at you for it.
My only concern is that if you continue to hang out with her, her harsh assessment of you might turn out to be correct. Don't be a chump!
