Yeah this is scary, especially given the number of people who visit.
However, this may be a case where things locked down (in a futile attempt to contain the thieves), as opposed to a fire. This still isn’t great, especially if it was someone who wanted to hurt people, but it’s probably why it happened.
I get what you’re saying (and saw your other comment) but I didn’t come away from OP’s write up thinking DHH was only a casual racist. So if they were attempting to defend DHH’s racism they did piss poor job. The language used was soft, but the quotes speak for themselves.
I was actually confused for a minute by your big comment, because I couldn’t figure out who you were saying was defending racists.
The article definitely glossed over the racism though. That might be why OP’s language was soft. They were responding to the article’s accusations - which were almost in passing - and in that context the language kind of matches. By pulling that out of the article and making it prominent in their write up, i think OP made it much more clear and couldn’t possibly be doing it to defend DHH.
