Kids ask, 'is it racist to call someone about these terrorists?...'?
I believe that in context, the young boy was confronted with something that is very sensitive in the way that it could be considered racist or just plain cautious. Sure "freaking out" his co-workers and making a big fuss was probably a little overly dramatic, HE'S A TEENAGER! The fact is if I had a similar situation with ANYONE making videos of groups of people shooting and carrying on about ANY religion or ANY personal agenda, I would undoubtedly report it. Think Wacko, Columbine, 9-11...the list goes on. Being cautious, does not mean racist. The problem that one faces the probable issue of being labeled as racist if the person is not from the same religious, ethnic, or whatever other differences people can come up with group is absolutely infuriating. This, I believe hinders people's decisions in reporting many things that we should possibly be more attentive to. No descent person wants to be labeled a racist! No descent person is a racist! I know these incredibly dim persons exist, making the lives of the rest of the world overly complex with their nonsense about race, religion, ancient rights, purity...The scary thing is that every sub-culture of the human race has crazy people like that thinking they are entitled to whatever it is they think they deserve. I have to believe though, that the majority of people in this world are good and just want to live a good life.
