If someone told me that saying Senator Warnock comes from a large family was "racist" I would click block without hesitation or regret. Such as person has identified herself as looking for a fight, or looking for attention, or both.

That isn't racism in any way. Family size is completely orthogonal to bigotry. Aren't you tired of attention freaks?

You might be right about her, but there's a third option. I think some people are genuinely just unable to acknowledge the gap between their initial, knee-jerk reaction and an undeniable fact. I see it all the time. In many different arenas.

Feelings really are indistinguishable from facts for some people. At least without a lot of careful hand-holding towards the truth.
