It is not how you treat those you love or care for, it is how you treat those you don't know and/or dislike, that is the real acid test.

I don't know if this woman is genuinely racist, or him for that matter, I just don't think having a black boyfriend would make a difference.

I don't think you can call him a misogynist based off that video either. A childish hothead who needs to learn to control himself maybe, but not a misogynist.

Just my opinion

I watch the video and really couldn't hear much, but what I heard was the guy picking on her. I don't see why she should be called a racist, for being a victim of his beratement? He was the complaining about how she dressed, and at the end called he a bitch and a escort. I am assuming he was the one who was throwing the punches too, not a freind of his or a by-stander. After she was insulted and assualted he was the one crying for a barrister and witnesses. I don't know what the catalyst was to the argument proabably over nothing, and it obviously escalated. But in the beginning of it he should keep on keeping on and mind his own business.
