This happens regardless of race, people come into disagreement and one gets ticked off and fights. Obviously not everyone handles it this way, but it happens, its only when older adults and people outside the situation place their own viewpoints on it that it becomes blurry in a veil of racism, opinion, and etc.,
Without anyone knowing the kid, and the others in question all we can do is assume, there is no justification for what happened, but there is no right in calling people animals just because the video has you up in arms.
For example, I don't use PTM as a stereotype for the entire Portuguese people, nor do I use you as a basis for how your people act either (god don't let be so!). Although maybe that's how our minds will always react, working in generalizations rather then in individuals since we can't possibly fathom naming every single person we come in contact, we just group em.
