Back at the other forum somebody started a thread called something like "Burn-outs a hate crime?"

Someone had done a burn-out, resulting in a rainbow crosswalk being defaced. The originator of the thread seemed amused by the idea that some people had assumed that this was an act of malice, rather than youthful exuberance.

So you're saying that the guy from my original post is lying about his motivation and is actually a bigoted homophobe?

And nowhere did I say that every case of doing burnouts is a case of "youthful exuberance".  I said in this particular case, people (activists) jumped to conclusions and wanted burnouts to be considered a hate crime.   Which may take some new legislation, since I don't think anything in the traffic act can be considered a hate crime.

When do the Chinese-Canadians who survived racism and violence at the hands of the Canadian government get their own crosswalks?  How does one even get a crosswalk??
