Bigots and racists are coming out of the woodwork like cockroaches.

@doschicos The attacker was not white.

Might be a leap for me to take given the lack of detail but I’m talking about anti-immigration type issues, speaking spanish, etc. I don’t subscribe to the belief that all racists and bigots are white. :slight_smile: But, the woman doing the attacking could just be a nutcase. Plenty of nutcases, too.

doschicos she did say excuse me first … so at least she is polite. (sarcasm)

One doesn’t have to be white to be a bigot or racist.

The attacker is clearly shown in the video.

How can anyone draw any conclusions about what happened. What does “Bigots and racists” have to do with this? Was there some slur mentioned that I did not hear or read about?

You’re right. It was a leap on my part given the limited info. I’ll chalk it up to the woman being a nutcase. I’m in the midst of reading a lot of other racist stuff, there seems to be a lot of anti-immigrant, anti-latino stuff around and I made a leap I should not have made. Mea culpa.

Bigots and racists don’t have to be white. They come in all shades. Many people are even racist against their own “race.”

ETA: weird, I only saw the first 3 posts when I posted this. The others didn’t load. Sorry for the repeat.

  1. Racists don't have to be white.
  2. We don't know of the attacker is racist.
  3. I've seen racism expressed by people of all colors. In some cultural groups, it's more acceptable and in others, it's more hidden, but no, I don't agree with the idea that white folks have a smaller percentage of racists.
  4. "These people" are collections of individuals, like me (and you, for that matter). I judge each person by the content of the individual's character. I do not generalize based off of the color of their skin.
