Alby, whether or not it was racist, you are missing the forest for the trees. My initial comment was that the person in the article was probably black or white trash. Sure enough, it turns out he was black. You then call me racist for CORRECTLY PREDICTING, based solely upon the behavior described, the race of the person. Sure, maybe I guessed. But I must just be lucky, seeing as how blacks only make up, what, 14% of the population? If I guess "black people" randomly, I'm likely to be statistically right maybe 1 time out of 7. By including "white trash" in my guess, I added another few percentage points to my odds. Of course, just like any other math problem, you can increase your odds of "guessing" correctly with additional information. In this case, the additional information was THE ARTICLE ITSELF, describing the BEHAVIOR. The behavior is most typically that of either white trash, or black people. Sorry, but that's a true statement. I don't know too many middle class white people who go nuts over the end of a promotion at a retail store, or get upset when a 19 year old sales clerk doesn't know some bit of obscure information about a product. In fact, I can't recall the last time that happened. White trash and black people going nuts over things like that, though, happens literally EVERY DAY and I deal with it literally EVERY DAY. Dunno what to tell you. I used my real life experiences to make a high-percentage guess at the race involved here. Of course, real life experience would require having an actual job, so I understand your confusion
