<div dir="ltr">My personal reaction to this would probably be to immediately react to her slur with a "That kind of language really isn't okay for you to use at Noisebridge" followed by a serious talk about <i>why</i> it's not okay. If she responded to be called out by agreeing to stop then I'd consider it settled; if she argued that it wasn't offensive or refused to modify her behavior I'd probably ask her to leave too. I don't think there'd be screaming, but frankly I suspect that "screaming" was meant in her description to Johny as a feeling of being attacked...I've seen Pigeon when they're angry about this sort of thing and their voice just isn't that loud.<div>
<br></div><div>I'm totally okay with excluding people who haven't learned to control their racist speech yet. I get that not all people who do racist things are horrible terrible very bad people, and a lot of them genuinely might not know any better, but being kicked out of a place because of their racist behavior is a pretty good signal to them that they need to learn.</div>

<div>Hi Jarvis,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I spend a lot of time in Hunters Point. I do volunteer work with teenagers from Double Rock, Oakdale, and other parts. People don't appreciate how awesome and friendly the people are, in Bayview Hunters Point. It's my favorite part of town. I love the people there. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Anyway, nobody here is advocating that anybody should use the n word. We all have the same goal: Respect for others. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Respectfully,</div>
<div>Johny</div>
<div> </div></div></blockquote></div>
