ROB- Ligabei the bus thing being demeaning, i think its all about perception. if you come from a rosa parks-esque view of the back of the bus, the in hochi nami youll be offended. but its all about perception. these people have never heard of rosa parks, and quite possibly have never heard of segregation in america. they dont have the same associations as you. im not saying there is halachic validity to bidavka sitting the nushim in the back, but all those negative feelings you feel for the back of the bus were engendered by an american education. they dont have these notions at all.
honestly, the fountain is mamesh an isolated incident. two families out of hundreds of thousands of people. come on. thats like saying all chareidim are niturei karta.
