re: Turns out that the kid that the racists at Deadspin attacked is also Native American

It was stupid to begin with. Native Americans aren’t black. There is no way you can honestly say this kid was making fun, or even pretending to be black.

And all the players are wearing black face paint.

White people trying to manufacture racism is a despicable practice that robs actual victims of racism from organic support that is clearly there. And this person does it for money. It’s a horrible societal injustice, and most of these folks lack any semblance of self awareness to even understand they are not helping the problem, they are exploiting it.
