So, Rico recognized the guy had learned behavior and knew he wasn't going to change him, so he walked away.

My opinion is that the guy in Rico's post is entirely and solely responsible for his OWN behavior, though. There may be a reason this guy exhibited the behavior he did; but I don't buy that as a legitimate excuse. The man is an adult. I don't believe for one second that he hasn't heard from somewhere that racism is wrong or bad or improper. (I believe the issue was racism - hope I'm remembering correctly.) The man won't change, because he won't change. We're not animals - we're humans. Humans have self-control, we just don't always use it. That man could choose not to open his mouth, despite how he feels inside about other races. He didn't make the right decision -- I blame him, not his father.
