Still, if you can watch a video of one boy being beaten up by several others, and conclude that it's his fault for not fighting back, or that other people have it worse, you have a major moral defect.

I guess that my moral defect is recognizing that this crap happens all the time but will only get to national news if the races etc. make for ratings.
Hell, I had a freakin' black serial killer stalking older white guys here in Kansas City near my areas of travel....killed 4-5....ever hear of that one? (Of course you didn't)
Well I'm sure you heard about the racist white POS lady yelling crap at her neighbors in an apartment building...that made national news after all.
The desire to promote mostly white vs. minority racial incidents has itself taken on racist tones. (Or political if you will).
I'd hoped we'd reached the point in this country where we stopped with such racist reporting.
If someone commits a crime or is racist, trying to extrapolate their race or gender etc. onto it is frankly despicable.
