The Rules

They only started really caring when it hit a white child.

They didn't give a shit about that white child either for quite a while. Ryan White was treated like a pariah by basically all of Kokomo as if he was going to give the entire town AIDS. It was disgusting. People only started caring when it was really clear he was dying and they suddenly grew a conscience about it.

Not that this made them any less racist or homophobic.
