happen when one embraces un-PCness:

“The night...was momentarily marred with shock following a racist statement from political newcomer Jean Cramer.

“‘Keep Marysville a white community as much as possible,’ said Cramer, one of five candidates vying for three open council seats...

“Council candidate Mike Deising [responded], ‘Just checking the calendar here and making sure it’s still 2019...’

“Mayor Pro Tem Kathy Hayman said she took Cramer’s comments personally in her response.

“‘I don’t even know that I can talk yet, I’m so upset and shocked. My father was a hundred percent Syrian,’ she said. ‘So basically, what you’ve said is that my father and his family had no business to be in this community...’

“‘My son-in-law is a black man and I have bi-racial grandchildren,’ she told Cramer. ‘And I take this very personally what you’ve said, and I know that there’s nothing I can say that’s going to change your mind... We just need to have more kindness — that’s it.’

“After the forum, Cramer was asked by the Times Herald if she wanted to clarify her response.

“‘As long as, how can I put this? What Kathy Hayman doesn’t know is that her family is in the wrong,’ she said. ‘(A) husband and wife need to be the same race. Same thing with kids. That’s how it’s been from the beginning of, how can I say, when God created the heaven and the earth.’”
