I was very impressed with her professional and understanding attitude and hoped that her employer took note of this.

That poor guy, if in a discord chat for example, could fall foul of this new internet troll law if someone unaware reported him as racist. Its hard enough for moderators to decide whether to ban someone based on his condition which could be seen as discrimination too. Moderators have it hard enough with those kind of decisions already. They don't need more complications on top imo.
