Is it wrong/insensitive to eat beef in front of a friend who is Hindu?

Anonymous

Long ago, probably during my teen years, my Dad ate beef in front of my friend at a restaurant despite him knowing he was a Hindu. I remember choosing something without beef because I didn't want to risk making my friend uncomfortable. Was I being too sensitive? Or was my Dad insensitive? The world is filled with people with different beliefs (some don't view Cows as sacred) and people have to accept that reality?
