As many have noted, there is a much greater demand for racism in the US than actual supply, so a lot of people simply invent it. This was the case recently where some kids from a little league team near where I currently live went to watch a game in the Little League World Series and caused a bit of a stir. What happened: one of the players on the Hawaiian Little League team, one Jarron Lancaster, has a blond-dyed mohawk haircut. Apparently the kid is good, so some of the players on the Davenport, Iowa, team wanted to emulate him. Being kids, that meant “look like Jarron,” which meant emulating his unique hairstyle. How did they do that? They yoinked the white stuffing out of some cheap stuffed toys and put it on some of their teammates heads in a *vaguely* mohawk-like pattern. They did this, again, to several kids. But what the national broadcast camera caught was them applying stuffing to a black kids head… which image was *promptly* leaped upon by race hustlers desperate for racism, because cotton + black kid = racism.
A new photo from the Little League Classic shows a white player had the cotton placed in his hair as well. https://t.co/fcihFiZgUI

Here’s the context. Lancaster from Hawaii is a straight stud baseball player. All the kids are getting his autograph. pic.twitter.com/pEuu1R8h37

The kids on the Davenport team were promptly vilified by some of the worst, dumbest people online, the kind who are easily led and resistant to facts and explanations. Were the kids racist? Doesn’t seem so. The stuffing-mohawks were applied to white and black kids, in clear appreciation of a kid who appears to be native Hawaiian. This *should* be a vaguely heart-warming moment of cross-ethnicity good sportsmanship. But these kids just got a quick lesson in the realities of woke outrage culture. That might be rough for them now, but if they are smart, it will be a lesson they will learn and take to heart, knowing to never give the woke an inch, and to never, ever trust them.
