Being someone that works games in the city or with city teams (regardless of race BTW), I find it funny how there are certain officials (usually suburban officials) that cannot even identify certain comments, actions or body language that to officials like me clearly identify or address and others are oblivious to. It is much more than language or specific words.

A lot of officials cannot identify things to even address them. When you have never been in a culture or exposed yourself in social situation, you often would have no idea what to do if you have little exposure to it. Like I said before, not all offensive language are the words we think they are and not all actions or things that get a reaction are the same either.
