I wouldn’t. Simply because I doubt that she’s friending you to get to know you, but rather to up her friend count. You don’t want that negative person to be able to contact you, see who you talk to, etc.

Hmmm….this is a hard one.
I don’t know. I had many similar episodes at school too. And even though I forgot completely about those people, Facebook made me recall the harsh times….

I don’t normally avenge any deeds towards me unless they were good, that meaning I return favors gladly. I guess I’d wait and see if she requests to add you. If so, I’d ignore her completely and leave her request pending forever.

Yes, I’m bitter ;)

I’m guessing you havent talked to her since the incident? If this was in elementary school, I’d think she was just young back then and didn’t know any better. That doesn’t excuse the racism, but…everyone does stupid things. I’d just forgive her (I wouldn’t friend her first, but if she friends you, I’d say accept it), unless she’s still a racist bitch.

I was bullied in middle school but I had friended many people on myspace and facebook that I went to school with who were mean to me. I tried to forget the pain that they caused me and we were actually able to carry a conversation and they were nice to me. Some even apologized. So you never know.

I would just completely ignore her.

But then again, I hold many, many, many grudges against people that were mean to me when I was younger. I know that if I’d meet any one of them today, I’d just let all the pent up anger explode :P

I wouldn’t accept the request from such a bitch! If she had the cheek to say something like that, I would have slapped her all over! Although you have to think where she got such racist ideas from…

The funniest thing about her racism is that she’s not even Australian. Her ancestors would have been British or the like.

Unless you truly think she has changed, you should keep up what you’re doing. If you think it might affect you to become friends with her only to have her be racist, then that’s the best course of action.

I personally understand your choice. I think that Facebook is cool if you want to find back that girl with whom you had lots of fun on her 8th birthday party, but if all you can think of to relate to her is “she’s the first girl I remember to have behaved in a racist way towards me”, then I think it’s good that you just ignore her.

Facebook can be the spawn of Satan when it comes to running into all sorts of people from your past. People you were friends with once, people you STILL ARE friends with (amazingly enough), people you’d like to forget, guys you used to like, girls you used to hate… it’s really crazy.

I’ve got one too. I’ll try and track you down.

Anyhow, chances are this girl probably doesn’t even remember saying that to you. Who knows?

I think it would depend on how long ago it was, and what the relationship between you was. Was that incident the only time she talked to you?

I really enjoyed your fable, too :)
