Yes, but again, this case isn't as important as what can be done with this as precedent.
Bingo.
I'm not sure if I mentioned it already, but some are saying this will set a precedent that will start causing a wave of anti-reverse-racism. Other's say that this is a fad and will fade away in a decade and cases like this will only be "found" in history books.
I'm hoping that it's the latter BECAUSE of the former. Maybe enough of these cases will come about to balance out the "ZOMG! That HAS to be racist" hysteria.
I am the usually the first to steer a conversation away from something racist, but I am also the first to call people on "reverse racism" or ideas that foster racism or hate against "whites."
I don't like racism in any from. I certainly have seen a shit ton of racism against black people by every race out there, including their own, but I've seen far more racism from black people against white people. (You'd think it'd be the opposite since I'm white.)
Racism sucks, it's stupid, and I hate it. There is data out there that can support healthy prejudice and, in fact, it could be considered morally wrong to not act on those prejudices. However, there is a ambiguous line that should not be crossed, racism is not excluded from that line.
If that point is lost on some of you, I'll explain:
You don't leave your child alone with a known child molester. 😐 That's just stupid and wrong. Even if in doubt, don't risk it, dumbass. 😐
