Now, he's a good guy but a bit volatile in his reactions to things, and there's no telling whether his firehouse was typical or not. But from his reports, at least, I'm not surprised by allegations of racist attitudes in the FDNY
There's a difference between attitudes espoused by knuckleheads in a firehouse and claiming a standardized test is racist.
