For instance, the unspoken fear that seemed to express anxieties regarding the possibility of Tiff turning "ghetto" and beating the sh*t out of someone.
Tiff doesn't take sh*t, but she showed no sign of getting physical.
I mean, think about it. An African-American girl from Utica is yelling, and everyone is suddenly expressing concerns for physical safety?
I'm not saying that they sat around and spouted off the "n-word," or that they even referred to her as "ghetto," or anything like that.
Rather, I'm pointing out the context of what they said and how the words were pretty racially packed.
