I sure wouldn't think it was a vestige if it was me putting up with that.

Probably depends on how old she is whether the glass seems half empty or 98% full.

Not that I think she should have to suffer that. She shouldn't. But I remember my first trip south when old black men would step off the curb into the gutter rather than simply walk past me on the sidewalk. Made me cry.

We should be delighted with what has been accomplished as we wait for the last vestiges to disappear as they will over the course of time. And try to not do anything to disrupt that process. One way to disrupt it, IMO, is to yell "rampant racism" over vestiges. Give her a hug. This, too, shall pass.
