Surprise surprise people.

A bunch of people in this forum need to start pouring the salt and pepper on their hats.

You do NOT have to be white to be racist. Most people are not racists, but this guy is, it seems. What a terrible thing to do!

This my point. I have read hundreds of posts from people in this forum that claim it is impossible to be racist if you are not white.

Weird, it doesn't seem like he's facing hate-crime charges. I don't actually support hate-crime laws since people should be punished for what they did and not what they felt, but this seems like a very obvious hate crime. Strange...

And I agree with you completely. In fact, I know people who are more racist in non-white countries. Chinese nationals are very willing to say that they don't like the Japanese, and vice versa.

Default Responding to a racist doesn't make one a racist

Absurd views here. A man whose dignity has been severely insulted by a racist is not a racist for RESPONDING. He's also not a racist because he IDENTIFIES a racist person.

Blacks who have been subjugated and discriminated against by prejudiced whites for centuries are not racist because they respond to vile treatment by bigots.

So it's OK for blacks to be racists because whites started it?

Yes.
And it's quite OK to kill the alleged oppressors.

You make no sense. You have no idea what you are talking about.

The black guy attacked more than likely a mixed race Hispanic Mexican with no provocation.

Well, I guess I don't get the motive of this post. I would think it is patently obvious that blacks, or anyone, can be a racist. What makes me think that the reason for the thread is really a kind of general, race-based hostility?

Anyway, I'll save some folks the trouble of new threads by now announcing that blacks can also get tooth decay, and Asians can be good bowlers too.
