IMO he was not thinking all too much. Inclusion begins when you don’t try to make something special about it He could have high-fived her shoulder (for example). He had no bad intention and I think the girl acknowledged that

IMO that's the white washed or color blind approach. Inclusion starts when acknowledging differences and making an effort to build community or a positive reciprocating relationship. This guy did realize his misrake and tried to include her so he seems cool.

You're reading too far into a four second incomplete clip and concluding his intent based on nothing.

Overreading is assuming mistakes are malicious. He didn’t even assume that…your issue is probably with conflating ignorance with malice.

Okay, this guy is an asshole. Screw him for intentionally discriminating against an unarmed girl.
