To be fair it wasn’t just any mac ‘n’ cheese: It was bacon-jalapeño mac and cheese!
If it were merely run-of-the-mill mac ‘n’ cheese his parents would probably be embarrassed by his behavior.

Great, now Obama is trying to take away our mac and cheese. It is a very slippery, gooey slope we’re on. First they’ll take our processed food-like substances, next our guns!

Well, you’ve certainly proven Luke Gatti is a major league D-bag with an alcohol problem.
Your attempt to use this anecdote (I guess you couldn’t resist the TMZ’esq video) a metaphor for larger social problems seems a little,…um Gatti-esq.

Well, obviously this kid acted like a privileged a-hole but I still hope he gets the help he needs to dry out and stay dry.

In a textbook portrait of unbridled white male privilege
It seems more like a textbook example of how alcohol can turn people of any color into obnoxious, raging, a*holes. Here in the city I have seen intoxicated people of various ethnicities similarly make fools of themselves. But I guess when white males do it, it is because of their white male privilege errr something.

I don’t get the white-male-privilege part, but I do get the drunk-off-his-ass part.
Favorite moments:
“Try Subway.”
“Where are my shoes?”
And why does the office need keys to lock on the handcuffs?
Indeed. I’m not sure this one merits anything but snarky reference to the race thing as opposed to taking it as a serious indicator of racial differences.
Besides, wasn’t the kid who just shot the 8 year old girl with a shot gun for not showing him her puppy a black kid?
Are we to believe that white folks have cornered the market on drunken/drugged out self-entitled behavior? I think not.

Trump’s interns really should know how to act in public.

Not sure which is greater. The shame I feel of having read and commented on this click-bate article or the shame and self-loathing someone feels after having realizes that they ate bacon-jalapeño mac and cheese.

Go to any AA/NA meeting in a multi-cultural area and you will hear horrific stories from people of all colors about the incredibly stupid, rude, self-centered, dangerous, etc. things they did while intoxicated. It is a symptom of their alcohol and drug problems, not their race. In this case it happened to be a white college kid in a University student union.
I do not in any way deny white male privilege as a real concept, but I don’t see it here.

I thought maybe the officer was loosening the cuffs after he put them on, in the hopes that he won’t get dragged into in whatever (frivolous) lawsuit this kid files.
Why? Because fuckin’ VELVEETA! Biotch! Sadly, I deal with this level of reasoning in my line of work daily. Lord help us, college kids.
