Video isn't working. If it's the one I'm thinking of, it was already posted a while ago.
I believe the counterpoints were:
It's not racist because the aggressor was already caught and is being prosecuted.
They're just teenagers being teenagers.
The baby was "only lightly" injured.
We don't "know" that it was racially motivated.
I think there were other reasons why it was no big deal, and have no doubt some will be along to explain it again.

Yeah, its a disgraceful video, no question about that.
But I don't see how its a black on white or white on black issue. Its kind of just extremely ignorant and (dare I say) racist to claim otherwise.
This kind of disgusting behavior happens all the time all over the world and doesn't get reported by the MSM, basically because feral's fighting doesn't sell news. It's as simple as that, there's no huge conspiracy behind it.
Personally, I think your trying to make something about race, when in reality its about society as a whole. That's racism by definition.

So very sad that people excuse racist behavior this way.

As opposed to the knee jerk "poor white people are victims" faction declaring that the attack was a "racist assault" because the attacker was black and the victims white?
MP claims "black on white" racism
A Labour MP who warned "racist" attacks by blacks and Asians on white people were being ignored has been criticised for his "irresponsible remarks".
Phil Woolas, whose Oldham constituency was the scene of race riots in the summer of 2001, has written to the Commission for Racial Equality (CRE) claiming that race relations are being damaged by the refusal of politicians to condemn black racism towards white people.
In a letter addressed to Trevor Phillips, the new chairman of the CRE, which was leaked to the Sunday Times, Mr Woolas said: "Politicians across the party divide have failed to be seen to condemn racist violent attacks against white people as strongly or forcibly as such attacks against Asian and black people.
"My view, and I believe that of my constituents of all ethnic backgrounds, is that this fact has diminished confidence in the communities and damaged race relations."
In the letter, Labour whip Mr Woolas, the MP for Oldham East and Saddleworth, urged Mr Phillips "not to diminish (anti-discrimination) work by allowing... the perception that racist attacks on white people are not taken seriously and condemned".
Shahid Malik, the only ethnic minority member of Labour's National Executive Committee, and a former commissioner on the CRE, said: "These comments are very disturbing. They are irresponsible remarks and absolute nonsense.
"The comments feed far-right organisations like the BNP who hijack the remarks.
"All right-minded people condemn racism, be it black on white, Asian on black or white on Asian. Mr Woolas has no basis for his view and is clearly out of line with Labour party thinking."
Mr Malik said he had received dozens of telephone calls from people concerned about the article, adding: "It is nonsense that there is a refusal to condemn black on white racism."
Mr Woolas was today unavailable for comment.

Rotherham police station. At least 1,400 children were raped, trafficked and groomed in the South Yorkshire town between 1997 and 2013.
An investigation into how police handled child sexual exploitation in Rotherham has been expanded after a watchdog received complaints involving more than 100 allegations against 42 named officers.
The Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) has been examining the actions of 10 officers involved in incidents highlighted by the Jay report, which described how at least 1,400 children were raped, trafficked and groomed in the South Yorkshire town between 1997 and 2013.
The commission said on Thursday that, since that inquiry began in November 2014, it had received 30 complaints relating to South Yorkshire police’s handling of child sexual exploitation in Rotherham.
“The complaints contain more than 100 allegations against 42 named police officers, both retired and serving, as well as a number of allegations against officers whose identities are currently unknown,” it said.
“Work to establish the identity of the unknown officers and to identify any links between the different complaints and incidents is ongoing.
“The allegations range from neglect of duty by failing to adequately investigate on the basis of intelligence or to deal with incidents appropriately, inappropriate comments and suggestions of corrupt relationships between police officers and offenders.”
The commission was also investigating an allegation that South Yorkshire police failed to act on information in 2004 and 2006 about alleged child sexual exploitation in Sheffield. This complaint related to two named officers who had retired, the IPCC said.
The Jay report, published in August, unleashed a wave of controversy about what happened in Rotherham. It painted a picture of hundreds of teenagers, mainly girls, being exploited by gangs of mainly Asian men with impunity.
As well as the vile graffiti, faeces and anti-vandal paint had been smeared on the door and a note had been posted through the letterbox saying the flat, in Mary Slessor Street, Willenhall, was for “black sisters and brothers”.
The note also states that “Willenhall is black so f*** off”.

The United Kingdom has been accused of "sleepwalking toward apartheid" by Trevor Phillips, chair of that country's Commission for Racial Equality. Philips has said that Britain is fragmenting into isolated racial communities: "literal black holes into which no one goes without fear and trepidation and nobody escapes undamaged". Philips believes that racial segregation in Britain is approaching that of the United States. "You can get to the point as they have in the U.S. where things are so divided that there is no turning back."[9]
The BBC has reported that the latest crime statistics appear to support Phillips' concerns. They show that race-hate crimes increased by almost 600 per cent in London in the month after the July 7 bomb attacks, with 269 more offences allegedly "motivated by religious hatred" reported to the Metropolitan Police, compared to the same period last year.[9]
