I may be reading this wrong. But are you saying if you are white, you must behave a certain way(refrain from yelling or cursing, etc...but if you are a minority, it's acceptable to do those things? Or have I totally missed what you are saying?
No. What I mean is that yelling and cursing is not effective at changing people's behaviour so it is best to avoid that, but at the same time I can't expect a black person who has suffered personally and directly from racism to remain composed and polite, while it is relatively easier for someone who isn't from a minority group and never been a victim of to remain composed.
