Again I say, SO WHAT!
In an ideal world, it wouldn’t matter.
But blacks and other races can say horrible things about whites (and do horrible things) and they are fawned over and fanned and validated etc. So what’s sauce for the goose should be sauce for the gander. And if Northrup or whatever his name is was an R he would fileted by now. He and his family would be in hiding, fearing for their lives.
