Daisy: either way, shouldn't she say something to her friend? Who cares what Mary's motivation is, this shouldn't be swept under the rug.

Darcy: I don't consider being called a racist a "stupid rumor". It's not like Mary said he slept with someone at the company Christmas party. Or that he has a drinking problem. Being labeled a "racist" can have drastic impacts on his career down the line, no matter what line of work they're in. I don't want every "random rumor" about me repeated to me, but if someone at WORK was telling even ONE person I was a racist, I would DEFINITELY want to know that. Wouldn't you?!

I guess I live by "do unto others..." and I would DEFINITELY want someone to tell me if another person even insinuated I was a racist.
