Pepsiefree, did you even read Jets4Life's comment, or did you just skim it looking for indications of race? In many cases the race of the individual doesn't matter however in this case I would argue it does.
Here's you:

Now here's the relevant part of Jets4Life's comment that happens to indicate the race of the person:

Jets4Life didn't even refer to the person as "native", you did that. What if Jets4Life had left out the "Aboriginal dude" part? The story would be kind of weird without it. It this situation, it adds context to what was said to Jets4Life.
I'm sure a big reason this Aboriginal dude made this particular comment is due to racism he has received over the years, but to imply Jets4Life was being racist in his description is unfair. It's also incredibly telling how you simply write off this encounter because Jets4Life is white. As has already been said, this encounter is more aggressive and arguably worse than what we see in the video and yet you right it off as no big deal because it was a white person that was the vicitim.
