The perpetrators were two Latinas. Those two would probably be outraged if someone mocked them by dressing up in sombrero's and a section of a wall.

Ain't diversity grand?

An online petition is calling for two California high school students to be expelled after they were allegedly seen in several videos appearing to bully Vietnamese students on campus, including one incident in which they shouted “coronavirus” during a cultural appreciation assembly.

The incidents occurred Friday at Bolsa Grande High School in Garden Grove, Calif. – a city with one of the largest concentrations of Vietnamese-Americans in the United States.

A Bolsa Grande alumna posted three videos on Facebook Saturday showing the students’ actions toward their Vietnamese peers.

Their names would already be on CNN if they were white males.

It's a shame. You'd think that people who endure so much bigotry would be a little more open-minded themselves. In this case anyway, not so much.

Did they yell it in Latin?

That's public schools for ya: yell at Vietnamese kids over a virus that originated in China.

Why is the school having an assembly at all??

Not surprising at all. Minorities constantly get a pass on racism and violence. They literally brag about taking over the country someday.

AOC will be around shortly to denounce this racism.

Politicizing the Coronavirus. Thank you, Sub.

Bigotry between minority groups is common and is in part fostered by a belief in some that somehow since they are minorities, they have some sort of free pass.

I've seen tons of that over the years anecdotally but you can take a look at the FBI hate crimes statistics and it's not pretty.
