A probationary firefighter who died at a training session was the victim of an FDNY effort to keep blacks out of the department, a lawyer for his widow charged Thursday.・・・・"This was the largest class of blacks and Latinos in Fire Department history," Thompson said. "Why did the department decide for the first time to implement this particular training?
"We're saying we believe there was a racial motivation there."・・・・・In addition to the racial component, the Sears filing claimed an FDNY instructor ordered other trainees not to help Sears as he died before their eyes. It took EMS more than 15 minutes to reach the Fire Academy on Randalls Island, the court papers said.・・・・・

 現地では小ネタみたいですけど、消防士見習い中のマイノリティが特訓のすえ死亡。
少なくとも二つばかり問題がある。

1)特訓は適切だったか?
2)人種差別的だったか?

なお、報道に関しては、日本の相撲でのしごきでの死亡記事の扱いなどと違いも日米比較していただきたい。
