Daisy holds Charlie to a unfair higher standard than she holds herself

So Daisy utterly destroys Charlie's prohibitively expensive Porsche by pouring buckets of chum into it, because she mistakenly thought he was cheating on her. He forgives her almost instantly, and she didn't even offer up much of an apology. He even tries to comfort her because he is more worried about her emotional turmoil than he is about his material possessions. Later Charlie pulls out the tablecloth from the dinner table, because his family members were being racists and idiots. For that, Daisy unceremoniously walks out of his life after insulting him.

Not so much racist, but definitely class-ist.

Charlie was trying to make a scene and it appeared, quite reasonably, to Daisy that he was using her, a poor Portuguese girl, to have a dig at his WASPy parents. But like Daisy said, Charlie was in the wrong, not his family (for the most part). With the exception of one casually bigoted member of the family no one seemed to have a problem with Daisy being poor and Portuguese. Charlie's father was more concerned that he was frittering his life away by not finishing college, which was also a fairly reasonable concern on his father's side, regardless of his haughtily Charlie's father addressed this concern.

I agree...Charlie's fathers concerns were not un reasonable think any parent would be the same :)

A man likes what he likes and some men like crazy women. It turns them on.
