My problem with that "leniency" is that he only got away with that because he's Aboriginal...

I guarantee you a white male of the same age and in the same circumstances would not have been treated the same, by either said boss or the police. Guarantee you.

Which makes the boss, at best, a hypocrite.

That is my problem with that approach.

The boss is treating the Abo kid like a misbehaving dog while any white kid would have had the book thrown at him.
