The sad reality is that this is America in 2022 folks. What made this guy think he could even make that kind of racist gesture is beyond me.
For about half of our current society being openly racist is A ok.

A new, longer statement on Instagram from UW says that “the ticket-holder has been identified by the Northwestern and Wisconsin athletic departments.” It’s still a bit mysterious exactly how he was identified, but I think the lesson we can all take away is: Don’t be a racist.
I took a quick look through the StubHub user agreement and they are well within their rights to provide the name/contact info associated with the account to NU and UW in this scenario (and I assume all third party ticket resellers have similar provisions). They are also well within their rights to block his account from purchasing or otherwise receiving tickets to UW events, if they so choose (which they may to avoid any future trouble, but wouldn’t announce).

Obviously, if he got the tickets directly from NU or a season ticket holder, it’s even easier to identify him.

Seems to me someone very high up, not very long ago set an extremely bad example and continues to do it and unfortunately still draws crowds.......Lets hope we all do better.

Yup, that speech was very disturbing down there in Atlanta.

This thread is about all parties coming together to do the right thing. Can we not muck it up with the usual nonsense and have it deleted?

I thought we already knew that. Apparently some people have not heard, how is that possible?

Why was my post deleted? It was factual and directly related to the topic of this thread: American racism.

What about the nearly half who self-identify as racists in surveys? I took the time in my previous post to quote the actual survey data (Reuters poll) but that was removed.
The post was deleted, but I am pretty sure we can all find surveys to say what we want them to say. Pretty much every single person has biases. White, Black, Make, Female, Other, all have them. Most of these people are NOT overt racist’s. I pretty sure whatever reputable survey you quoted would not have not have responders “self-identify” as racists. They may have unconscious bias but Painting then in a light like this moron isn’t helping making progress towards improvement.

Yup, this small NU community of educated individuals demonstrates how much more united our country is today.

In today’s episode of I’m Better Than Anyone Else, we have with us a very bright and virtuous poster from The Wildcat Report……

He wrote "For about half of our current society being openly racist is A ok."
Is it still "wildly untrue" if you take the word "openly" out of the statement?
Yeah it is and you’re a total fool if you truly think otherwise.

My wife and I adopted a little girl from China 20 years ago. She is now a senior at VT. If I were sitting next to that fan, he would not have been taken from the arena by the police

If I had to guess I'd say 20% of America is racist.
Is that way different from what you think or are we quantifying something else?
It’s more of the Atlanta speech thinking. If you aren’t with me, you are a racist. A bunch of tomfoolery. And will probably lead to a bunch of violence as folks don’t like being wrongly called that.

So 2 out of 10 people you meet are racists? That certainly is different from my experience. I know people from all walks of life. In the last two decades, I have heard exactly two racist comments. I can quote each verbatim because they were so shocking and so rare. But who knows? Your guess might be on the money.
