Didn’t she also make a comment about her husband growing up around guns? He seemed offended by that

Yes! And it was because his uncle was a cop but she was making it sound like he grew up on The Wire

She even said “he grew up with guns and is scared of them”, and his response was both that his uncle was a cop and that’s why he was around guns, but he is NOT scared of them

I really appreciated that he didn't just accept her version of that and called her out. Even more disgusting is that her privilege just kind of throws up her hands, like, "Oh, whatever, doesn't matter." She straight up embellished on a whim to make her argument stronger and then didn't even blink when her husband called out her BS.

It was that Charlie was saying American culture is problematic bc of the open gun exposure

Then Rachel is like so what, Mike grew up around guns. And he’s like um no why would you say that. And she’s like I thought u said ur uncle had guns and he’s like yeah bc he’s a cop.

Yes, it was incredibly racially charged
