Animals. Not funny at all.

What is horrifying is the two guys on the pavement who don't seem to react
in any way, either to go to the help of the man who was run over or to
make any comment (for or against) to the driver/passenger.

They probably see that sort of thing every day.

Unlikely.

My mum had an aunt who lived in Cape Town. She was white, of typical
English origin. She was a lovely old lady, which made it all the more
horrible to hear the way she talked about "the blecks" (she had acquired a
Sarth Efrican accent) who she talked about as if they were a different
species, an under-class whose role on this earth was to be servants to the
whites. She only died a few years ago, so this was recent attitude, not
pre-Mandela, pre Ian Smith in Rhodesia era. My mum and she had to agree to
disagree about whether apartheid was a good or a bad thing. What I found
hard to take was the way that she could be telling a story and I'd think
"yes, I know what you mean, I agree with you" and then a little racist
aside would be slipped in without any self-consciousness: it was so deeply
ingrained into her life that she probably wasn't aware of it.
