I get the impression the people responsible were tourists because its hard to believe any Seattle natives would get worked up at the sight of (gasp)a couple of Asians.

And here's a word on behalf of Belltown. This didn't happen because of Belltown, it happened because people were stupid and drunk. I'm on the sidewalks of Belltown most nights, often quite late. Sure, I have to make my way around drunks and drug dealers, but they're almost like urban furniture. I don't yell back at people, and nobody has ever tried to do more than sell me a copy of Real Change.

Being a parent and a chicken-shit, if a bunch of meatheads started calling me names I'd probably hustle in the opposite direction with nary a peep. This guy didn't deserve this (even if he did talk shit too) and it pisses me off and makes me sad that there are so many violent, stupid, angry people in the world.
