I think I was pretty clear about the nature of kids/teens. If the request was made just to prove that he could, it seems rather provocative. The race card should be reserved for real injustice, or it kind of loses it's punch, IMHO. To do something just to prove that it is within your rights to do, seems childish to me. As I have said, I don't know the whole story. I am guessing that his little "point" ended up costing him a lot more than he imagined.
