How stupid do you have to be?

I think stupidity and racism go hand in hand, or at least, there seems to be a strong correlation.

There have been several viral videos of late showing people going on racist rants, all the while knowing they are being filmed.

I wonder what it will take for these idiots to refrain from expressing their hatred in public? It's a pretty safe bet that when you do that, the video is going to get a lot of attention, as it should. Have these people not become accustomed to technology yet?

Anyway, I'm in the camp that says that these people deserve all of the publicity that they receive.

meant that what they were saying is perfectly acceptable now. That's why they are so pissed at not getting proper "respect."

in that video of the Manhattan lawyer going off on the people speaking Spanish, it is obvious he is videoing right back.

Seeing that made me think there must be a lot of racist sites that host such videos. My initial reaction was "What a moran", but then I realized there must be a lot of people who agree with him.

Probably travels in circles where he’s among people just like him.
