Actually, for the record, I did ask very politely. Unfortunately, I ended up getting hit for that... So let's evaluate, I asked politely, verbally, then got physically assaulted. Also, did I ever mentioned race or ethnicity? No! All I referenced was that this was a poorer part of Los Angeles than I live in, close in reference to the "20 blocks down" that the speech referenced. This has absolutely nothing to do with race or ethnicity. It has everything to do with upbringing and economic situation, and, ultimately, personal choices we make. Did the person who hit me have to hit me? No, I was not assaulting him. This was a personal choice.
