When discussing social dynamics, since this isn't about the facts of this incident, there is no expectation of accurate conclusions on either side of the issue. It is a discussion that is rooted in observed patterns of social interaction. We don't know with absolute certainty that this was not about race and they don't know with absolute certainty that this was about race. And it really doesn't matter for the sake of discourse since none of us (hopefully...in this thread) are emotional and planning on staging a coup d'etat in response to this incident.
