My perspective on it comes from her saying that she has depression and she knows that that's contributing. That makes it sound to me like normal frustration over race and gender have been made into something much worse by her depression.

I can see what you're saying, but based on my experiences with depression and the way it warps obstacles that other people might not even bat an eye at, it seems to me like this place that she's in has less to do with racism and sexism and more to do with that aspect.

Point taken. That's something to consider. I don't think it can be confirmed either way by anyone except the OP, though.

But then it gets into the mess of which is better, giving the statements a free pass as something said by a depressed person, or saying something about what those statements implied? I could see why someone would choose the former, but I'd lean toward the latter regardless... the idea that waving it off as okay because depressed people are allowed to say things with unfortunate implications doesn't sit comfortably with me.
