What really gets to me is the fact that white societies are the number #1 immigration destinations for non-whites, and are entirely responsible for this person's opportunities and high standards of living.
Yet all he sees is white racism.
edit: since I can't reply anymore; to that one person...
You've missed the point entirely.
1. You don't know that race had anything to do with what happened. All you have is one side of a story that keeps dragging race into it. Which is very racist in itself.
2. If white societies where racist, they would not be the #1 immigration destination or have the highest standards of living for non-whites (or even let non-whites in).
- oconnore 10y agoBut he's probably right (and he's certainly the most qualified to comment on this incident). I'm pretty sure if I had walked up and said, "Is everything all right? I'm a medical doctor in case you need a hand with anything." the situation would have gone much differently. Furthermore, even if he isn't right, there is plenty of evidence of a growing white nationalism/racism in this country that the article wouldn't be any less relevant if you could somehow prove that these four particular officers are not racist.
- anexprogrammer 10y agoBut he didn't identify himself as a doctor. I can't help feel the encounter may have gone differently if he had. Not that the behaviour is any more acceptable if he was just a random passer by.

- mikeash 10y agoHe should ignore a racially motivated beating by police because other people of the same race are responsible for his high standard of living? There is so much wrong with this I don't even know where to begin. How about that his high standard of living is primarily due to his hard work and intelligence, not the graciousness of his white overlords.
