Meh, ran into the same thing at work a couple of years ago.
Gave directions to someone looking for S. I gave general directions, but the whole office was a maze. S was the only black woman in the building, so I mentioned it. What? Was I supposed to say something else? If she'd been a white with bright red hair or unusual glasses I'd have pointed it out. The stupid thing was that the woman I "shocked" was seriously bigoted. She used unpleasant words and had rather unpleasant opinions (imho). So she crowed about my "slip-up". Yeah, fuck you bitch. I'll wake up tomorrow morning and still be under forty.* * I never said this to her because it's not big or clever or even relevant. But she hated ageing. And so saying it now is a sly dig; but maybe it's so far behind her back it will circumnavigate the globe and touch both her faces. Slap! Slap! Years ago but you deserve it. Slap! Slap!
