naj7488: “Maybe racism was involved in thinking that the Cabot incident was racist. Perhaps if it had been a group of latino or black students who called the police, no one would have cared. But, there was definitely racism involved in the calling of the police, whether it was intentional or not.”

I don’t see how you can have an open mind about one possibility, and a crystal ball for the other. It is more reasonable to say that both could have racial undertones, or perhaps neither (or a combination). We can’t know for sure, so some good discussion, connecting, apologizing, etc. would go a long way (but accusations which lack a truly solid foundation can only be inflammatory).
