White Student Goes on Rage-Filled Tirade Against Asian Teacher

Was this kid on steroids or something? looks like he was just trying to act tough for his friends or some lame shit. high schoolers are weird
 
Bu..but I thought California is the liberal wonderland immune to racism

I'll be honest despite him using the N word, I didn't really get a racist vibe from his rant. It was just disrespectful as all fuck. Now there could've been racist undertones in him feeling comfortable to be this disrespectful to this teacher and not his others, but there's no way of me knowing his history for me to gain better context to be sure one way or the other.

I wonder if that school has security, because he needs to be gone YESTERDAY.

I've subbed for about 6 or 7 years and my gut tells me that he either is on medication and/or suffers from a behavioral disorder. I'm no specialist; just going by what I've observed over the years.
 
I wasn't aware. I just teach third grade. Please tell me about how kids are not normally expelled for every little thing. I'm talking about this situation. Every situation is different. He looked ready to murder this teacher, and no, I never saw this happen in my high school.

I'm sure whatever his problem is, it's not the teacher. His teacher is just an unwitting lightning rod.

Kids and teachers, there's a unique parental psychology going on there. Ever heard someone slip and call their teacher Mom?

I just don't think expelling students exhibiting high risk behaviour is the right call ever and is indicative of a failing school system.

It's pretty easy to manage eggheads that want to learn. Chucking troubled kids out because... they need the most help and effort is just a cop out and reflective of a sad environment where we discard things we perceive aren't worth the effort.

It's funny. In a 1 minute and 10 second video you can tell that someone has never been bullied or faced a hardship in their lives that couldn't be solved without somebody with more power/money bailing them out. Fuck this kid. I don't think this kid is ready to graduate put that man's diploma on indefinite hiatus.

I guess? It's just as likely that his parents are angry nutcases too, who may have taken it out on him growing up.

I thought we were done with this race selection thing but whenever i log to NeoGaf i see threads titles like white guy did this,black guy did this like what the fuck man. Why do fuck gaffers care to put their skin color to threads? This shit shouldnt be happening anymore it is not 1950. Why people especially on neogaf refer to people with their skin color ffs?

Since it's too late for the kid to have his diploma revoked or be expelled, I have a feeling that if internet vigilantes find out his name - they'll get in touch with whatever college he's planning on attending (or his employer) and send them the video along with the message "Is this the kind of student you want representing your school/business?"

What in the hell. He's yelling the N-Word too at an asian guy, with black kids around.

Eh, the word nigga was a normal at my High School, everyone used it not just the black kids. We said it as a hello to each other believe or not, "sup nigga!", nigga please! etc. I didn't use it at first but eventually got into using it since everyone said it so casually. The group I hanged out with was pretty much of all races including a few blacks I've known since middle school. FYI not white myself. Not surprising the black kids don't mind in that vid. That kid has some severe anger issues though.

I'll be honest despite him using the N word, I didn't really get a racist vibe from his rant. It was just disrespectful as all fuck. Now there could've been racist undertones in him feeling comfortable to be this disrespectful to this teacher and not his others, but there's no way of me knowing his history for me to gain better context to be sure one way or the other.

This. When the students at my school went off, they used the n word in every sentence as a way to act tough.

If this was South Asia he would probably be in the hospital by now..and the parents might thank the teacher for it. (exaggeration but he would get his ass whooped nonetheless)

I'm torn on if he should be expelled. The only bit that crossed into a physical altercation was him throwing the end of the faucet head. Ultimately, i'd certainly not blame a school for expelling him based on the video.

But, like you said, he probably has something going on and how would expelling him help?
We need funding for full time school psychologists at every school. It would be remedially better for problem students before using the last resort.
 
This is what happens when deadbeat fathers tell their sons to "man up" or "sack up" in response to their child displaying emotional vulnerability. They turn into this.

I agree with your point with trying to avoid labels, but know that humans try to categorize things including people. In the US, especially the bumfuck IE both the student and teacher were labeled as such. We usually label Caucasian people as white and a person of Asian descent as Asian.

And also, it seemed the kid was more a disrespectful little shit than raging racist. Kids around here like to utter "nigga" instead "nigger" to avoid being considered overtly racist. Yeah it's weird. Of course that doesn't excuse the Western view of Asian men in general which this punkass kid probably abides too. It explains his outburst to the middle aged teacher and the other students ambivalence towards the whole thing.

Im not really for the suspension thing as a punishment. I mean who actually thinks not having to go to school is a real punishment?

Should have threatened the kid with expulsion and made him do some kind of community service like people get when they get charged for more minor things as adults.

In middle school i was going to be suspended for pushing a bully in class (he did the typical ching chong racial shit asians get). My parents were out of town and my non-english speaking grandma couldn't communicate with the vice principal. So they gave me an "on-campus suspension" and instead of going to class they made me pick up trash all day. Da fuq right? Man that was torture and my friends laughed at me lol Would have loved to serve a real suspension and be playing video games at home.

Your punishment sounds right for this kid.

The way everyone ignored and laughed his behavior off tells me that they're used to him being an asshole and a bully.

Completely awful. Hope he suffers major consequences for his actions.

He was mocking the way he told him to sit down at the beginning?

Come in. That was completely racist from start to end.

It's too late for this kid to be honest, something like boxing might help him, but that would be too constructive.

What a fuck-up.
 
This is the crap teachers deal with across America. It's daycare for adolescents.

He needs at a minimum suspension.

Edit:
Not all teachers are perfect, but there is a correct way to deal with a problem and an incorrect way.

I really doubt this guy lacks exercise or sports. He looks pretty athletic to me.

He's probably already an athlete of some kind.

It won't help him.
 
this would get your ass whooped so fuckin fast in Asia, like what kind of disrespectful fucking asshole, this old grandpa busted his ass off for years to get a doctorate and has to deal with this little shit? Fuck this kid I actually do hope he gets his ass beat and learns some humility

I am going to make it through this year if it kills me
It seems many people on here not remember high school?

I didn't go to fucking Compton high, but I went to a school in LAUSD and this outrage would fit in with many others I have seen.

Lancaster, CA? The use of the n-word is normalized among races as slang. It would still be silly to black kids, but I wouldn't take it as a racial component.

Called an Asian teacher the n-word?

Am I reading that right?

White people are calling Asian people the n-word in anger now? Is that how they're taking the word back or something? I don't really understand what's happening.
He is a corny ass white dude trying to informaly use "nigga" in his rant to show off to his friends, sounds like he did it self conciously, because he fails at it like a white dude that is thinking about it when he says it. He attempts to end with the classic "whack ass nigga" but executes it with silly Caucasian awkwardness.

I think he might need some a professional psychologist and some Lithium before they turn him loose on society. He sounded more manically enraged than he did racist, and attempted to bully his teacher, harm hormones are kicking his ass.

Apparently his only punishment is that he won't get to walk on stage for graduation because it's too late in the school year to do anything else.

This is like third hand from Twitter though so it may not be all of it. The school hasn't announced what the punishments were.

update: the school's already made a decision, he's not walking the stage but it's so late in the year they couldn't revoke his credit

I've experience people attaching quantifiers to the n-word to make it applicable for different ethnicities
Yep.

Don't know where it came from but my grandfather used to call people of middle eastern descent sand N word and I think I heard it somewhere else in fiction somewhere before.

I went to public school in SoCal. NEVER saw anything like this.
 
This is the environment we in the education industry have cultivated for the past two decades. The teachers have almost no power or protection, the parents can harm the careers of employees regardless of policy and codes of conduct, and the students are very aware of both of these things.

This leads to a number of entitled, bratty kids (with overprotective, highly litigious, bratty parents that have zero respect for professionals in the industry) running the show in classrooms at all grade levels.

This kid was clearly in the wrong, but it doesn't matter. He won't face serious consequences because A) He's white, B) School discipline is neutered, and C) His parents almost certainly have the resources to force the best possible outcome for him.
