Did you see that longer video in the last thread?

It looks to me like the Native Americans were just getting between the two groups lobbing taunts at each other to bring some “peace” in their own way.

The Catholic boys then decided to make fun of them and it went from there.

I think like a lot of kids, they got high on themselves and then that brought about typical mob stupidity.

Of course their backgrounds and schooling came out and there is certainly bigotry in the group. But did they intend to be purposely racist???

Does it matter? The vast majority of racism in this country isn’t purposeful, it operates at an ingrained, subconscious level within people allergic to introspection. Racism is a mimetically spread reflex, learned from and by people who sincerely believe they personally have “transcended race.”
