The one who pushed him knowing he couldn’t swim should be prosecuted and it’s disgusting none of his so-called friends did anything to help him.
When I was in HS I was horsing around with a black kid and pushed him into the deep end not knowing he couldn’t swim. I was naive at the time that many black kids couldn’t swim. But I helped pull him back out after realizing my mistake. My HS was over 93% black and most hated whites so I was lucky I didn’t get my azz beat.
I’ve heard blacks referred to as “non-swimmers.”
I guess it’s low body fat = harder to float.
No access to swim lessons or valuing it as a skill or sport.
