Every racial incident I have seen or know of from primary sources basically doesn't get past some jerk exploited inflated sensitivities for jerk reasons, and if it escalates to violence it's all about vanity and ego. Some jerk going about his jerkly business is nothing to get out of shape about until he directly interferes with your operation. I mean, if some guy were standing four feet away from me and was shouting all varieties of meanness it isn't logical to get angry, it's stupid to empower that chap more than he ever could by himself.
Then again I'm debilitatingly blase. :-|
