A woman that I met in line at a store was Muslim and was fully covered. Someone walked by her and asked rhetorically, “Is it raining it?”

The lady told me that happens a lot. I said that maybe they really thought it was raining (but in retrospect I may have not only misread the comment of the commenting person, but also invalidated the lady). If it was to call her out on her religious dress, then that is def hurtful.

Meno: Yes agreed it def can come across as offensive.
