I feel like this woman would have gone bananas with *anyone* who criticized her for letting her dog run unleashed. Man, woman, child, black, white or whatever: her reaction would have been the same.

Some people are short-fused and defensive...especially in NYC. [/quote]

So you think if a white man was asking her to leash her dog she would have called the cops and said and african american man is threatening her? She would have said a white male? Really? [/quote]

I think she still would have gone bananas and escalated the situation. Absolutely.

Do you really think she would have smiled and said, “Whoops! My bad! Sorry” and leashed the dog without being defensive? No way.

Lots of people thrive on aggression. Some seek it out; others quickly engage and escalate. This is a personality trait/character flaw. It’s why we have anger management therapy.

Is she racist? Yep. But the encounter would have been very similar with anyone—including a white woman or a teenager. [/quote]

No it would not have. You're missing WHY this was so egregious.  Sure, she would have thrown a hiss fit with anyone, but she escalated to a place where she put this man's LIFE in danger. She would not and could not have done that to a white person. THAT is what is disgusting. Without that element, this is just run of the mill asshole behavior. [/quote]

I’m guessing you’ve never seen white people go bananas at each other before? It happens. It escalates, sometimes they fight and pull hair, and sometimes they threaten to call the cops. Thanks to cell phones, it gets captured for the world to see.

I get that she made it racial. But I still think she would have gone bananas regardless, and she might have called the cops.

I am white. I was hit by a white woman on a bicycle. It was her fault (I was in my car stopped at a traffic light). She flipped out and threatened to call the cops. I actually did call the police because her bike damaged my car and I was worried that she might have hit her head. It wasn’t racial; she was just a lunatic. (She told the police officer that she was just upset because she was late for her therapy appointment.) [/quote]
