Hardly. New York race relations may not be a walk in the park today, but they are a picnic compared with the 1980s. Remember "Central Park," "Howard Beach," etc. Whites felt victimized by black criminals. Blacks thought whites, and the police, would just as soon see them exterminated, criminal or not. And this whole incident brought it to the surface.

I never said it wasn't an issue, it's just not applicable to the specifics of the Goetz case, unless you want to highlight why these 4 punks picked Goetz out as a victim to begin with.
