A Racist Attack Shows How Whiteness Evolves

Two 17-year-old boys accused of harassing four African-American middle schoolgirls — using racial slurs and urinating on one of the victims — are facing charges including bias intimidation and lewdness.

Police say the boys are of Indian descent.

Instead of asking what the boys’ reported racial identity tells us about the nature of the attack, we should see the boys as enacting American whiteness through anti-black assault in a very traditional way.

Um... why?

[tinyowl]

On brother.

[The people have spoken]

It suggests that Indian-Americans don’t have much respect for African-Americans.

Is this a real article lol :)

There’s a billion black on white crimes a day.

If it is real I want to print it and put it up on my wall for laughs every now and then :)

How about you just tell the truth instead of putting an anti white spin, lie, on this.

OK, NYT, let’s do a count of white-on-black attacks, then count black-on-white attacks, then correct for population density (e.g., 12.31% for blacks, 61.1% white), and then tell me why you wrote this story.

“How whiteness evolves”.Oh,*this* should be a fun read! </s>

[Dilbert San Diego]

Or maybe those Indian boys are just bad guys, and not inspired by white racism?????

[Bullish]

You don’t really think FReepers are going to go to the NY times site to read their BS articles do you?

[Jeff Chandler]

White Indians.

The NYTimes must constantly scour psychiatric out-patient facilities to find new talent.

[JennysCool]

Wow. The Times must be promising a weekly bonus to the writer who can come up with the most ludicrous crap.

[Bullish]

Didn’t you hear the newest edict? Math is now considered totally racist. Especially math that means that.

[Callnote]

Wow,, i imagine when i was raped by an older black boy when i was 5, it was because of the historical systemic “whiteness” in America that caused it.

[Thanks RR Rest Well]

Sure, because there is no history of racial/class hatred in India

Only part that caucasians had with this story is to take the blame. I think the Author is clearly a Black Bigot.
