    I don’t think it would’ve made a difference, when he was told there was a fine for attacking the seal and that it’s extremely endangered he responded with “I don’t care, I’m rich”

    Dudes face immediately became a target regardless of race

      Sure. But I wasn’t addressing that. I was only commenting on why they might use a “racist adjacent” statement.
