That's conjecture, Atobe. Given that X-man already demonstrated
a lack of manners, it is also entirely possible that he could have
reacted in a hostile and manner to a situation that didn't call for
it. There's nothing that conclusively shows that Buxton was acting
superior, even though we of course cannot exclude that
possibility.
I disagree, Atobe. X-man could have acted in a mature manner and
acknowledged his mistake, but instead he acted like a petulant
child and escalated the matter, to the extent that even after
disengaging from Buxton, he came back and started things all over
again.
Perhaps, but it's equally possible that he is simply pointing
out a social issue that he sees for for the public to pay attention
to.
That's not quite accurate, is it? Being Singaporean, X-man's
mother tongue may not be English, but since it's so commonly
spoken, why shouldn't we expect him to be realistically able to
pronounce "xenophobic"?
The key issue here is X-man's lack of manners - after all, this
is how the incident started. How he felt about it and what other
issues he associated with it are driven by nobody besides himself.
He apparently turned an issue about manners into a racial one, and
from the looks of it, it was simply to draw attention away from his
lack of manners. I'd read that as him being simply irresponsible
and childish.
As for what Buxton would have done in country of origin, who knows?
He certainly seems vocal enough, and in countries where speaking
one's mind is encouraged, it's entirely possible he could have done
exactly the same thing. Chances are that someone would call him
petty, but we don't have enough information to determine if that
would have stopped him.
