Scapegoats: Society's Stress Dolls

While from an outsider's perspective this may not exactly be acceptable, I feel that blacks' taunting of the Jews was alright in the sense that it was part of their culture to blame others for the grief experienced in their own lives. It's almost in bad taste to mention that there are cultural differences, merely in the interests of political correctness. However, it would be naive to say that there aren't any actual differences present predominantly because of race. In this specific case, it's obvious to see that there is a cultural distrust of groups other than their own, and therefore they make fun of the other group.
