On Saturday we were at a wedding. It was DPs side so I knew no-one except DP and his daughter. I was feeling a bit awkward as DP had disappeared and I was sitting with people I didn't know.
It was late afternoon/early evening so people were starting to get a bit drunk when 2 people, one of which was the groom, used a racial slur (against the groom's cousin unbelievably). I didn't know what to do, I didn't want to say something and kick up a fuss with people I didn't know so I just got up and walked away. But now I still feel shit about it-I read somewhere that if you encounter racism and do nothing you're complicit in it. I'm not racist and it made me feel terrible, but I wasn't up to standing up to 2 much larger than me, drunk men, and causing a scene at a wedding.
Am I a terrible person?
