Re: Coventry Mall Close Call
If the guy's a racist, then there's no excuse for his post. Lets not hang the guy though. The above quote is what struck me. (Bold is mine) It seems that them following him was the issue. As far as describing them as Mexicans, I don't know the area, but maybe it is widely known that there is a crime problem among the Mexican community there, so it was an assumption based on some knowledge.

Re: Coventry Mall Close Call
ok so when i lived in allentown i hung out with hispanics.... now they were primarily puerto rican.... one day i call a dominican puerto rican and all hell breaks loose.... now if he is a racist then thats his problem.... as for me i know im not... however if i call someone black instead of african american it automatically makes me a backwoods kkk worshiping racist bastard.... i thought nothing of what he said.... maybe that makes me racist also....

Re: Coventry Mall Close Call
A person walking alone down any crappy street at night in Reading dressed in nice clothes or looking out of place will be profiled as a "target" by thugs the same way thugs are profiled by the guy in nice clothes. The ones nobody expects like the nice guy that goes nuts one day and goes on a shooting rampage make the big headlines but are the minority. The gang crimes and violence are the majority. This becomes the face of crime in America. Watch gangland on the history channel to see what it looks like.

Re: Coventry Mall Close Call
Before I judged the OP, I would ask for some clarification.
I grew up in the general area mentioned, people who may say things that come across as racist might be the least rasist ones. Yes, we should all be more politically correct when we can. We are products of our environment though and make casual slips all the time.
Lets hope for the best from the OP's post..

Re: Coventry Mall Close Call
If you go into a restroom with 3 people in it and as you leave, 2 return, I'd like to hear how any one of us would not go into an altered state of alertness! Granted the racial descrip is useless, but the situation and awareness shows sense.
They left, returned and then followed him out??? My radar would have pegged!
Regardless if they thought they dropped a house key or were actually involved in less than legal actions, that's what SA is about.-Remember the Constitution-

Does your family really give you treats for going potty?
Power always thinks...that it is doing God's service when it is violating all his laws.

"That post came across."
Not to me it didn't. And, he didn't say they were kids. Let's say they were 3 ADULTS so why you are you introducing the "kids" strawman? It's not the "Mexican" part of it that make it a "situation." It's 3 adult guys hanging around a bathroom for no apparent reason in a remote part of the mall. You could have asked for clarification but you rang the racist bell. That's pretty tiresome.
