Nah, we'll just disagree. The apology is you doing what you think you need to do to make it right or get out of a situation. What you said or did at first would be what you believed at the time. Immediately apologizing shows no growth at all.

And he made that assumption based on? Because, again, we know for a fact she didn't sound ignorant on the topic.
I never said I'd bully anyone but I would absolutely remember behavior like that. You don't get to act like a bigot and then just say you're sorry. This isn't christianity where everyone has to be forgiven no matter how shitty they are. This is real life where your words and actions have consequences.
Is peanut butter bean dip or hummus?
What other reason would you suggest as to why he would assume that he knows more than her or that she couldn't be the person that he's referring to? Clearly he didn't even know her name yet so what did he have to go by to draw those conclusions? It obviously wasn't her lack of knowledge on the subject that they were discussing now was it?
Privilege is writing off your own privilege as inherent in nature and then pointing at other groups of people going "but they're allowed it's not fair!!!"
Experience isn't an excuse for you to be willfully ignorant. That just makes you old and ignorant.
Not the "I know of this one poc that's in a position of power and so white privilege doesn't exist" argument lol
You can apologize, sure, but in that situation I would absolutely judge you strongly for it regardless. Forever or until you proved you grew out of that kind of bullshit.
No, they do a lot for your mental health. They just stress me out. If I want to chat I'll go chat with someone I know. I do not enjoy random people talking to me at all
