The story Alex is talking about is about a big gang of youths attacking a 15-year-old in New York and stealing her shoes. I watched the video and it's horrifying, but you can't tell the race of the victim from the video. From the angle of the surveillance footage, her face is blocked by a binder that she's using to protect herself. I read a bunch of articles about the story and nowhere can I find any information about her race. And from everything I can tell, there's no reason to jump to the conclusion that this was a racial attack. The perpetrators have been arrested and questioned. And as it turns out, the victim went to school with them and they jumped her because she'd beaten up another girl who they were friends with earlier in the day. There's literally no reason to see this as a racially motivated attack unless the only thing you see is that the perpetrators, the young men, were black and you're a huge racist, which Alex is.
