It doesn't surprise me that you would justify it to yourself in this way. It is the typical action of someone who is desperately trying to prove their self to a complete stranger and doesn't want to admit their insecurity. The chances are that the original threat was someone messing around but, having responded to it in the way you have, if someone really wanted to do you harm they would now know to prepare accordingly.

How does someone look like they're in a gang? Unless you know what to look for, you have no idea what a gang member looks like, and he obviously had no such idea. He saw some black people in a group and assumed that they were members of a gang - prejudice typical of a racist. > So is he also a sizist since he > mentioned they were big? No. Physical size is relevant, unlike the colour of their skin. > You are quite a piece of work, calling > someone a racist based on one comment. If the comment hadn't made it clear, I would have no reason to make such an assertion. >(which probably was hitting the > nail on the head) In other words, you're racist as well. > He called it like he saw it, nothing more.

It's enough to make negative judgements about them based on stereotypes. > I hope you love living > where you do, and if anyone ever attempts to do you harm, I hope you > are able to defend yourself with your frying pan or whatever.

Things are a bit more progressive here. People who adopt a course of action that escalates violence take their share of the blame.
