Alright so I’m coming in on this late and I do get that context is important l but if the kid wasn’t even thinking in a “racist manner” as in meant a racist intent then how is he really supposed to realize right in that moment that a shrug flex or whatever you call that would be taken in a racist manner?
we have come a long way, but sometimes it seems we are looking for racism in the minutiae of an event that might otherwise just be what it was on the surface.
I don’t know, this is a weird one.
