These kids didn't know anything about Phillips being in the army. They only knew he was an old native american guy singing and drumming. So what does the fact that he may or may not have been a veteran have anything to do with them mocking him in a racist manner?
I don't expect an answer to this question because it keeps getting ignored and brought back to the one kid or back to Phillips somehow being the bad guy. I wonder why that is?
Is the racism against an elder okay if he allegedly lied about being a Vietnam veteran? (Which hasn't been proven one way or the other by the way.)
