I think the thought is that native islanders can harbor racist notions against white people. Whether that actually played a part or not remains to be seen.
I don’t think it would’ve made a difference, when he was told there was a fine for attacking the seal and that it’s extremely endangered he responded with “I don’t care, I’m rich”
Dudes face immediately became a target regardless of race
Maybe so, but it’s a terrible defence as the lawyer stated it.
Like the lawyer is in a Hawaiian court and says what boils down to “bro the natives only hate him cos he’s white - plus they way more seals your honour”. That’s a terrible argument. 1) know your audience. 2) “a different race also broke the law” is not a defence. P. S. Didn’t downvote, I appreciate the attempted explanation.
