Sure, but certain races experience more racism than others. Maybe Terrell Davis being black had nothing to do with the reaction in this case, we'll never know, but if you ran the "tapping" scenario 200 times with different flight attendants, half with white men doing the tapping, half with black men doing the tapping, I'd guarantee more negative reactions would come from the black man. I think this scene https://youtu.be/z2JTHM5EPKU?si=FqXgnA_Q7q4Fsy0f&t=367 (starting at 6:05) from Brookline Nine-Nine summarizes my point.
Either way, the current policy of "call the cops first, ask questions later" is not working for me.
