Seems like he came to realize how people in crowds are- very few ever take a risk and stand up for others. Unfortunately, he could move to any country being a visible minority, and encounter the same behaviour. Or possibly worse, like being a Rohinga in Myamar.

Remember the rule:
- You must keep your head down ...
- Kneel at the kerb and beg because the powers are determined about the gutter ... and where the lessor folk should be ...
