While one should be defensive whilst exchanging insults and slurs, holding the victim responsible for the aggressor's disproportionate and violent reaction is, in short, forgeted right up.

This is completely different. The wasps attack disturbances out of an innate nature to protect their nest. Escalating a situation from racial sleights to direct physical violence is in no way comparable.

If you know 100% that your action is going to cause an issue, and you're goal is to cause an issue, it's entirely your fault. This could be said for both parties, but whoever starts it first is the one in the wrong. You know exactly what kind of reaction you're going to get out of someone, so it's your intention to get that reaction and therefore cause the issue

You missed the main point of the brown townogy. If you do something and you know exactly what reaction you're going to get out of that situation, you are in no place to act surprised or defensive when the outcome you want to happen happens.

I really don't agree. The aggressor is always at fault for escalating a non-violent situation to a violent situation. The case of the sleight causing the aggressor distress being racial in nature doesn't change things.
