Personally, I haven't heard anything throughout this whole thing, since the incident occurred, that tells me he's a racist. Not one bit of evidence that I've heard that indicates that. Just the fact that someone is of a particular race does not make everything that happens in his life the result of racism. Was TM racist against GZ? The witness today testified that TM used two racial derogatory terms to her about GZ. Did he attack GZ because of his race or ethnicity? GZ, OTOH, did not use a racial derogatory term in referring to TM, that we know of.
So maybe you are viewing things from a skewed perspective. You've made certain assumptions, and you're going to stick with that, even if the evidence, or lack of it, shows otherwise.
