But why are you talking as if there aren’t any black immigrants? There are a number of black immigrants, especially up North in places like where this occurred. We have no idea what the entire circumstances were here. Up north it can be ethnicity vs. ethnicity
It could be a black immigrant, but I think odds are probably against that.
Why is anybody surprised at these type of attacks? They are happening in the era of Trump's racial hostility towards Mexicans.
It was only a matter of time especially when you have a President that demonizes a whole segment of society.
Yeah, I found it interesting that two black posters referred to the attacker as AA. I don't think reporters dig that deep when reporting a story.
It’s Jersey so you ever know. Too much of everyone to assume. I’ve seen where a Puerto Rican was labeled as an African-American up north in a police report because he was obviously of African descent. So we really don’t know the ethnicity other than the child was of African descent. That county has a lot of Dominicans as well so...
That means nothing. People label black people of other ethnicities as African-American all the time. They think it is interchangeable with black and that doesn’t mean they are African-American at all.
odds are you are right, as well all know immigrants commit very little crimes compared to citizens
My thoughts exactly.

Yeah, these attacks never happened while Obama was President.
Trump sure has a lot of power. He can make a person who is likely a Democrat attack another person. No wonder Russia wanted him in the White House.

Could be a child whose parents are from somewhere else. They aren’t an immigrant but they aren’t African-American either. Up north sometimes the new ethnic groups are rough with each other. It’s a different dynamic.
If you think that other recent groups wouldn’t bully a Mexican kid about their people coming over a wall, I don’t know what to say. You know how many Haitians got teased about coming over in rafts? That was from other Caribbean groups too.

It came from the victim's lawyer. You can assume whatever you like about the ethnicity, I'm just providing the information from the article.
