I like this as a thought experiment: Lemmy, at what point does someone stop being nice? And is there a difference between acting or being nice?

Raymond is probably "nice" to the fellow white dude, polite and not physically aggressive.

Raymond is not nice to society.

That's an interesting point. People can be nice to certain groups of people I guess. Maybe no one can be nice to everyone.

I kniw that probably you didn't mean it that way, but it sounds as though you're excusing Raymond.

Nothing new here, who doesn't know someone who is very pleasant on the surface and a complete sociopath underneath?
