This:

you are so right, When people use racism as an excuse for bad behavior it hurts everyone.)


is very, very true, elieng. You're spot on about this. Moreover, the people who use racism as an excuse for bad behavior, and who hide behind the anti-discrimination laws in order to avoid the consequences of wrong-doing of any kind, it also makes it even more difficult for people who really are the victims of racism to get legitimate grievances redressed.

Also, the guy who was working at the beach to enforce the law of no dogs allowed on the beach was more than justified in doing so, and calling his boss for assistance, when the two women who'd brought their dogs onto the beach gave him a hard time.
