Kids these days...

Quote:
Two California teenagers have come under fire for their racist prom proposal sign that displayed the n-word on a poster.

A photo of the teenagers smiling and posing with a sign that reads: 'Bianca, You are racist but I would give anything for you to go to prom with me.'

On the poster, certain letters were painted in bold and capitalized to spell out the n-word.

The image was circulated on Twitter and Instagram and shows teens Bianca Daalfonso and Nick Zwygart, as identified on social media, who attend Palos Verdes High School in Ranchos Palos Verdes, California.

Apparently the guy was a foreign exchange student. Of course Palos Verdes is very affluent, low in diversity, and very isolated. I doubt these kids saw the problem in what they did, but I have 100% confidence that they learned very very fast all the students at that school as well.

Including the anti semites down in Orange County sad that it's happening, but a valuable learning experience that the kids obviously haven't had.

True. These students are absolute buffoons but yes these terms shouldn’t be acceptable then in any format , and especially not by ones own race and culture. Yet these so called artists can spew these words mixed with sexist and degrading language , and portraying most females as cheating whores and males as big shot gang and drug lords, and idolizing fans are ok with it.

So this place, Ranchos Palos Verdes, must be a modern day Brigadoon. Since they only pop into existence once every 100 years their children are not aware of the significance of using the N-word.

It's probably the only place on the planet left that can make that claim.

Interesting place, must try and pop in sometime.

Im sure they did it all for the lulz, but this stuff travels fast in this day and age. They ll have that show up forever whenever a potential employer googles them...(at least in this country as theres no right to be forgotten in the US)
