They basically accused OP of being racist for implying that she was racially profiled. And that the store is owned by a Navajo woman and therefore they're exempt from all accusations of racism.

ETA: I tried really hard to use a 3rd party site to link to the deleted comment, but apparently user-deleted comments can't be recovered by Unddit or Reveddit. The original reply on the Google page was also deleted and replaced.

Is she actually asking you to fix her problems for her, or are you just offering because you think that's what she wants?

A lot of women cry when we get overwhelmed. And a lot of men tend to think that means those women need their problems fixed by them. This is not the case. Many of us can and will fix our own problems as soon as we're done crying it out.

So my advice is, stop trying to fix her problems. See what happens if you step back and let her handle it. That doesn't mean not empathizing or being supportive, you can do those things without stepping in and problem solving.

Maybe she actually wants you to fix her problems, or maybe just being supportive for someone who cries so often is too much, and if either of those are the case you should re-evaluate the relationship.
