just remembering this episode of the golden girls, when dorothy found out her friend was a member of a club that discriminated against jewish people, and her friend tried to justify it by saying it wasn't "her" policy.

thinking about that and looking at the cast list of that fucking audiobook.
A screencap from The Golden Girls' episode "Dorothy's New Friend". Dorothy looks upset and asks, "Barbara, why are you a member of a club like that?" A second screencap from the same episode. Barbara says, "Because they serve a great breakfast, and the parking is free. Besides, it's their policy, not mine!" Dorothy responds, "Yeah, but you tolerate it."
