What that means is, it's entirely possible that he said what he did because he knew it would piss the guy off more than anything else. I honestly don't see why people can't use insults that they don't believe in themselves, just to rile people up. I'm not saying that what he said wasn't racist in itself, or even that it was acceptable to say it (I agree with an eye for an eye mentality in generally, but it doesn't make the individual acts in and of themselves any less vulgar).
