Is there something missing here? Maybe he can't be in the lobby because of building regulations i don't know
Racism is a fucking plague
There's nothing missing. It's a paranoid white guy deciding that a black guy is more suspicious than a white guy.
Despite the fact that the black guy's claim - "I'm waiting for my friend to come down" is proven ON VIDEO in the same video everyone watched, we are still asked to imagine either a wholly imaginary scenario where the black guy "tailgated" in behind our heroic Patagonad, or to take his word for it, despite every other claim made by the black guy being demonstrably true. We are supposed to think that this one particular detail is likely and therefore that changes the entire nature of the encounter and that racism, once again, didn't play any part.
Outrage Lobby Culture jusy looking for a way to be offended!
That poor little kid. Crying his eyes out. Because he had a better grasp of context than his grown ass dad. And the black guy gave him several chances to just stop before he ends up on Youtube cancelation montages.
I don't want the guy to lose his job simply because I feel sorry for his kid. His dad losing his job may well be what's coming to him - and what he deserves, but that kid will suffer for it. Not sure what Youtube's employer responsibility is here, since it's not as clear cut as some naked racism (n-word, threats, violence etc) but employers can often fire for no cause just to lose the headache.
Maybe there's actually some chance of a lesson here. Youtube finally actually does something about the hypocritical way it treats content from hate groups. I watched the long video where the Youtuber posits (absent of evidence) that this dad might work on the bad algorithm and action department at Youtube. Maybe he does, maybe he doesn't but there's a chance this puts a spotlight on that problem and maybe there's a fleeting chance some good comes of it.
BTW we have a company policy of making sure that every single person who enters behind us uses their keycard. If it works, it makes a friendly beep and turns green. I get it. Makes sense. But it sure does lead to some awkward moments as lots of people enter a building. I've had especially zealous employees demand I show id despite my card plainly working as intended. We also work in a building with different security than most of the corporation and occasionally you'll get entitled executives yelling at reception because their passcard isn't authorized for the building and they were trying to take their kids on a tour or use the pooper.
