Many believe the beating would have received more attention if the crowd had been white and the victim had been black:
Don't imagine there will be any "marches" for this guy, will there? theblaze.com/stories/video-… via @theblaze—

If this guy were black, Jesse and Al and all the other race baiters would be up in arms. Instead? SILENCE! Hypocrites! theblaze.com/stories/video-…—

Several Twitter users argued that the incident vindicates John Derbyshire’s controversial article warning his children to be suspicious of black people:
The tourist that got beat up in Baltimore would agree "The Talk: The Nonblack Version." bit.ly/HmC5ir (The writer got fired.)"—

@RichLowry I comprehend the PC decision to fire Derbyshire, but do you have a reaction to what he practically predicted in Baltimore?—

@jimgoad I reckon the guy in the green shirt is not John Derbyshire's son: baltimore.cbslocal.com/2012/04/06/cro…—

At least one Twitter user replied that the events in Baltimore lend no support to Derbyshire’s views:
If you think what happened in Baltimore somehow makes Derbyshire right, you need serious help. And don't follow me or talk to me.—
