Rich white guy. If he were brown he wouldn't see the light of day again.

Nah here too. There was a case where a black kid was killed during excessive hazing and all the kids got off with like 20 hours of community service lol. Prestigious school/fraternity with deep political ties.

You might say it was just hazing gone wrong but they tortured him worse than any other pledge. The story was brutal. They were caught on camera saying lots of horrible racial slurs and also taunting a homeless black man about cutting off his hand like the Congo.

Edit: this was Belgium, not Netherlands

Thatโ€™s likely more to do with good ol boys rather than racism honestly

Racism is a huge component of "good ol' boys" mentality
