Because Locomotive trusts the victim over the attacker.

“Nigger” is more than just a word, snowflake.

Granted, I am white...but am I missing something?

May be true and may not but why is one more plausible to call dude vulnerable?

You should hear what your Mexican cousins say about you when you’re not around.

We won’t miss you.

At what point though, considering that the scenario of the racial harassment played out, and then the clear physical contact multiple times, does some nuance get added here?

It’s totally necessary. It is not on him for her not to attack him. He is not obligated to wait and find out how hard she can hit before he fights back. Period.

the reactions were equal. just not their strength.

Well that’s definitely a productive attitude.

alllllllllllmost. i’d say “It’s not my job to teach you even if you ask in earnest but PLEASE PLEASE TRY TO EDUCATE YOURSELF WITHOUT PUTTING THAT BURDEN ON PEOPLE WHO ALREADY FACE SHIT YOU DON’T. IT’S UP TO YOU TO GIVE A FUCK ABOUT YOUR OWN IGNORANCE, NOT ME.

Don’t worry dude, no one would ever expect you to be able to do your own thinking.

Wasn’t just words, she attacks him first.

No, you’re right. If it’s too hard for you to try, then please don’t try.

Interested to know if folks have a different perspective if she did in fact say something racially insensitive (as Mixon claims) as well as clearly initiate the contact?

I don’t think that it’s much of a stretch to say that they both handled this poorly, but only one of them lost millions and had their reputation ruined.

Being Oklahoma, I can only assume she was being racist.

She was. She and her friends were being racist before this happened. But still, holy shit

The only one is if she did use a racial slur like he says.

She shoved him. She put her hand on his shoulder. And then hit him in the face. After likely using racial slurs.
