This is a clip of a Hispanic guy going solo against a group of racist protesters. They keep telling him to go back to his country and he fires back saying he is indigenous to the continent and that they should go back to Europe. Their logic is flawed and they keep calling him a coward even though he's one man standing up to a group of people.
Would you have the guts to stand up to a group of people like this? Do you think his presence fueled their fire?

Wow...that's my initial reaction to that particular clip. I think his presence did fuel the fire, even though they were saying to ignore him. They didn't know what to say to him when he pointed out that their ancestors came from Europe. Research in social psychology discusses how we seek out information to confirm our own viewpoints. Obviously, this information did not fit with their views, and they discounted it.
I have to give this guy a lot of credit going up against these people. They were getting in his face, even though some of them seemed pretty old. I would hope I would have the courage to stand up to a group of people like this. When it comes to issues with politics, I guess I can get pretty opinionated.
