Besides that, everyone's seen this sort of behavior and it's not strictly based on any race. We've all seen kids act out at theaters and fast food joints. Stop playing dumb. Ignorance isn't exclusive to any race.

You like to observe huh? I'm not doubting that, but if that's your thing why not see the bigger picture and the environment that largely leads to this "behavior" as you put it.
I can't lie though, I'm stuck on the weave thing. That was a big clue as to your slant on this topic and who it was you were observing. Yeah this is a message board, but you're obviously trying to spark something here. If you weren't aware of the incendiary tone of your post, you are now. Yeah it's fine to observe, but some things just don't need to be said especially if you can't relate to the situation. It comes off as uppity and judgmental. If the behavior bothers you so much do something to address and perhaps change it, if it's not interrupting your life to that degree, then keep it moving.
I deal with people like you all the time. They have so much to say about the person who just left as soon as they leave, but in the presence of the person who they are so bothered by, they keep their little limp lips shut. If you have a problem, try telling them next time. Make an on spot observation and get yourself a crash course on reality.
