There are people reporting that this youth who smiling was/is racist, however I’ve been around enough young people and I was young once myself and in the beginnings of a confrontation with somebody I think the human reaction is to sort of have a smile to demonstrate unconsciously that you are in control and are not afraid when... You are actually losing control and you are scared shiftless! When you are seconds away from screaming and running away from the antagonist. Mere bravado, it is a natural reaction.

But these dolts and keyboard psychologists out there are telling us that this young man/child is racist because he was smiling in a certain way. That is not true. Any behavioral psychologist worth their salt will probably tell you it is a natural reaction and a common subconscience ruse to hide fear and the turmoil that is going on within. It’s quite common in the animal kingdom, dogs lash out and put up a huge front of aggression when it is really fear that is on display.
