I've talked to that woman, actually. We met after she once terrified a preschool outing that was also on the bus.
This lady, she was working herself into it, convincing herself as you listened that if we kept out all the "coloured [redacted]", her life would be better, that she wouldn't have to deal with anything bad ever again, that there'd be no crime. It was incredible racism, and though I know my urge to just have it out with her would have been useless, I do regret not saying anything. After all that, she called ME rude? How could I not?
