I've been racially abused enough times to know the heckling is often just them working themselves up to violence.

What if the situation was reversed? If a Sikh man yelled and pointed in a White woman's face for minutes on end? He'd still be in jail.

WP share these examples to feed their colonial picture of POC as noble savages. They don't care about Jagmeet Singh or his humanity

True. They don't see any of the contradictions when they endorse non-violence too.

Happens on Twitter and offline all the time: they expect POC to "be nice" & not hurt their feelings. Take the violence. But be peaceful. SMH

They're very nuanced as to what violence is too. The definition always miraculously contorts itself to support white violence.
