whats really funny is you have more to say about the black guy who was being taunted by a racist than the actual racist and by funny, I mean something else
You clearly didn't read very carefully, he wasn't "asking for it" (though that too)...he specifically offered his cheek and told the guy to hit him. So I'm afraid there's nothing unethical about it. I'd think you'd understand the concept of consent. Seems that, as a kid, you didn't listen to your parents.
Minstrel is one of the most thoughtful and neutral posters this community has ever had. I've been posting with Minstrel since the bbb.net days. For anyone to think Minstrel comes out of the woodwork when triggered is hilarious.
