Charity is a good thing, but it is not the only good.  You allowed that
woman to walk away with a very distorted view of reality.  I'm not
judging you (nobody confronts bigotry 100 percent of the time) but you
certainly had the right to explain to her exactly how wrong she was, and
saved her the embarassment of saying such stupid things in the future.
