    Default Asian students protest violence at South Philly High

    http://www.channelapa.com/2009/12/as...olence-at.html

    "Asian students at South Philly High are breaking the stereotype of the quiet immigrant kid. Tensions between black and Asian students at the school erupted in assaults last week. Ten students were suspended and several sought medical treatment. Fearing for their safety, about 50-100 Philadelphia high school students are boycotting the school until things get fixed. Apparently, the bullying has been reported before to the school district, but it has done nothing to change the situation."

    a few short clips too in the link


    now the debate is, what can the school district do to solve this problem :X

    Sad. There's no place for racism/hate especially in educational facilities.

    What the district will do doesn't interest me as much as what they didnt do. f*ckers. But ya...the perpetrators should be prosecuted accordingly and the situation with the district should be investigated thoroughly.

    Regardless of color, bullies are wussy's, preying on the weak and helpless. Usually will end up being a failure in life anyways.

    So my advice to the young, study hard. Knowledge+money=power
    Due to several complaints, I will stop using the terms "Babe" and "Baby" in reference to our female counterpart. They will now be replaced with "B*tch."

    That right there is the EPIC FAIL that Asian parents have given their children for too many generations.

    Never boycott your own school, makes the asses who are acting like thugs leave.

    But where is the money come from? It's knowledge. Money without knowledge won't last long. Education and knowledge aren't necessarily make you lot of money, but definitely make your life better.
