I thought it was a joke poking fun at our biases and stereotypes of news stories with asians, arabs, blacks etc where inevitably someone says that it is something about "those" people that makes them more likely to commit violent crime.

Because Rube is white as well. So, so white - like 1960s astronaut white. Therefore it's ironic, and as we all know, irony excuses all kinds of otherwise inappropriate speech.

These guys are losers angry at the world. Being White Supremacists is incidental in this case.

They got their jollies by boot-stomping a physically weaker victim. Just for kicks I bet.

Like I said, this hits me close to home. I used to hit up the beer store in that plaza where Mark Mariani was killed.
