Washington Post Article Buries Race of Hate Attack Culprit in Fifth Paragraph
We've been told over and over again that all white people are racist. We've also been told over and over that people who aren't white can't possibly be racist. Of course, both these claims are absolute bovine excrement. However, they have created a fear of appearing to be racist, which makes people do stupid things.
A Washington Post article reports that a 91-year-old Mexican man was brutally attacked in the U.S. by someone with a brick, and that the woman who allegedly conducted the attack yelled: "Go back to your country."
A hate crime, right? Well, no -- it seems the attacker was a black woman.
The man, permanent American resident Rodolfo Rodriguez, apparently bumped the woman's daughter on the sidewalk and was beaten for his transgressions. The attacker's race wasn't mentioned until the article's fifth paragraph.
We've seen other hate crimes reported by the media that later turned out to be hoaxes, yet the early news reports had prominently mentioned the race and gender of the attackers -- all white men.
