12. Why jump in over that?

WTF?

The person I responded to made an unsubstantiated, biased, stereotyped claim of 'racism' when there is no evidence or proof of that other than the posters vivid imagination... none whatsoever.

What makes it even more amusing, is that the ethnicity of the "victim" in this case (Wendell), isn't being reported. What if "Wendell" turns out to be Black (or another minority), himself?

Yes, Wendell fucked up. He had an accident, got scared and tried to cover his ass.
That's human nature, not racist.

Why jump in over that?

You should be asking the person I responded to that.
Not me.
