Mom-of-five Din Martin was subjected to a vile racist rant while trying to reverse into a parking spot in Blundell Shopping Centre on Saturday

Dear Editor,

Re: “Racist rants on the rise,” News, April 5.

Thank you for your article on racist rants. My husband and I have been on the receiving end of such rants and while it angers us, it saddens us more than anything to think that racism still exists and how there is so much anger and hatred from racists towards people who they don’t think belong to “their” country.

When it happened to us, our daughters witnessed the entire thing.

Part of us wished they didn’t see it, but we decided to turn it into a teachable moment.

Thanks again for your beautifully-written article.
