It’s utterly reprehensible. Beating up someone just because he was ’staring’? Firstly, I don’t really believe that worker was staring at the guy. Even if he was. Beating him up is hardly a logical conclusion. Secondly it’s practically a full-on racist attack

FYI, the source quoted was the New York Times, March 27, 1964. You might want to read something at least once through before claiming it to be something other than what it is and dismissing it.

I don't know anything about the additional investigations, but it's still a classic study in Psychology, so there.

“If a white man attacks anybody from another race, it is racism. If a non-white attacks a white man, it is not really his fault. We should look at the root causes.”

"Because positions of authority are still being associated with the white man. Racism is toothless without the power to enforce it."

Such comments are pointless until they are studied on the ground, no?
