He will finish going to this prestigious prep school and he will go on to the ivy league. He will have all of this going on to his advantage because he comes from the right family with the right money.
Christ didn't carry his own nails and his own hammer. That's the part of the analogy you're missing. It's one thing to be cast a villain, it's another to live up to the casting.
That was good. That could have been an escalation point and led to a larger confrontation. He deserves some marks for that, and I give him those. Keeping this thing alive is of his (or his parents) making though. They should just let this die and pay for Nick's ivy league education.

The fact is that employers and future schools will” look his name up”
Yes he has advantages due to his status. Yes he is a poster boy for white priveledge. None of this changes whether or not he was liabled. All it does is likely increase the damages he suffered.
Will an Ivy League school debating between him and another white upper middle class privileged kid take him and his noteriety or the kid without. Same with every job he competes against kids of equal privilege.
There seems to be this wired attitude that someone who has priveldge can’t or is allowed to be harmed because of this privilege. Why can’t the statement be here
Yes this is a priveledged white boy (who may hold racist views) who will likely have a successful life AND he was wronged by the media coverage of this event.
