i asked her to link me to an article but she said "just drop it. I have my opinion and you have yours. Done!"

Guess she can't face that I'm right and she's wrong. Don't argue with me over something I know loads about, considering I studied both sociology and modern studies. Just leads me to believe that she's racist now. My point was that anyone could not wash their hands but of course she singles it down to Muslim people.
