A flood doesn't start with a deluge. Pretending bigoted jokes, and acts like this are just "attention-seeking" is to ignore the greater problem. This kid didn't just get this idea out of the ether. And yes, facebook trolls and graffiti sprayers are a problem, because they demonstrate a willingness to accept a greater hate, just as those willing to "overlook" them. Why must a Jew speaking out against anti-Semitism be a fear of another Holocaust? That strawman is of your own making. Just because an African-American person is concerned about a racist act doesn't mean s/he is afraid of the reinstitution of slavery.
