      I could see a frustrated dad grumbling about “Price of X” on his own time, and it wouldn’t be the death of their character. My dad has extended frustration to me when I’ve overpaid for things.

      What sets this moment apart, to me, is the choice of language for the noun. “a fucking Mexican”. It’s extremely important to me that THAT is his label, and that racial identity somehow influenced the expected cost in his mind.

      That outburst came after Trump invited Guillén’s loved ones to the White House and offered to pay for her funeral…”

      He offered to pay. No one asked him to do that.
