What does this video look like to you guys?

A case of idiots just picking on someone random?

Or

A case of some racist targetting someone based on their ethnicity/background? And using the bullying/teasing as a ploy to their true intentions?

no, they were just picking on the nerdy kid. since its probably from some hick ass town, the only smart kid is the little asian kid cause he's not a stupid redneck so they pick on him. besides he's little. if theres a nerdy white or black kid they probably pick on them, too. but since all the white kids are stupid hicks and all the black kids are stars on the football team, the only "geeky" one is the asian kid. so it just falls right into the stereotypical scenario, but i dont think it was racism cause those kids were just assholes and will pick on anyone smaller than them that wont resisit.

Plus we need to see more details of what happened before that caused the bullying. But I still feel there is an undertone of racism like you said do to their pre-conceived stereotypes towards Asian guys with glasses. I mean hell even Bruce Lee had to face up to this scenario in his days, when he was an actual decent fighter.

You are right though, most bullies who rely on attacking someone based on race does not chose to find the buff looking Black kid to push around. Naw they zero in on that nerdy looking Asian kid with glasses. SO true.

Looking at that video made me really pissed for some reason though. Reminded me of the way Bruce Lee was treated in High school by Whites and Blacks.

Bullying in school is nothing new, but there should be more action done to stop it.

I'd be careful about bullying nowadays, kids these days aren't too hesitant about bringing a gat to school and offing their tormentors, if you know what I mean.

You think a little Asian kid with glasses would do that though? I mean, I have never seen any Asian kids do such a thing to their bullies. They usually just ignore it.

Unless of course you are talking about the Cambodian/Viet kids in Long Beach coming up in the 1980's surrounded by Longos and such lol. But that was more of a bunch of ethnic Asian kids banning together to protect themselves from the Mexican gangs abusing them.
Not really some Columbine stuff.

I try to understand you homeboy but yet this what come out "i GUARANTEE you black kids go looking for other younger kids to punk and rob more than anybody else". Get that shit straight homeboy. Those were some pussy ass whiteboys, what were they? Some ethical, righteous, pick on your own size, fight one on one white boys? And if they was black they would be pussy too, and judgin by your comments you woulda said some shit about all blacks bein like that, when Mcminister only talked about a select few whiteboys who were actin like pussies.

you got proof that blacks gang up and assault other races 5 times more than whites, since that's what we are comparing?

On that note, I would have to give my opinions.

IF a group of White guys/teens ganged up and beat up on a Black person, the world would YELL OUT RACIST ATTACK AGAINST BLACK PERSON!!! in the news and stuff.

Regardless if the White attackers used racial slurs like the N word or not.

Now showing THIS video of the lil Asian kid, people would mostly automatically brush it off as plain ol simple bullying......
Living proof is by some of your responses on this post.

Think about it, if the victim was Jewish, Black, Muslim, Gay/Bi/Lesbian,
and it was caught on tape.......
How do you think the world would be reacting and why?

im not talking about hate crimes. im talking about black kids punking other kids. i know about the hate crime rate and how most of it comes from white trash nazi rednecks. but you've never acknowledged anything that ever may have put blacks under the gun. you alwys say "look at what white people do".

you know what if you want to believe otherwise, i dont care. it really doesnt matter to me. i know whats really up and what happens. if you want to turn your back to it, it doesnt matter, it just shows that your knowledge and wisdom come to a hault when you have to critisize black people for something.


half the fucking forum turns their back. i give george about 30 mins before someone calls him a racist or critisizes him because he brough up a point in our society.

No, actually it seems like you ignore anything that a black has to say because you believe only in what you have been taught and seek not to open your mind any further. Black kids punking kids? All kids to that, all races do that. But you are saying black kids do it the most so I asked for proof then you accuse me of not wanting to open my mind? Everything you are accusing me of you exemplify, so I can't argue with you.

i aint gunna argue with you. all im saying is the dude shouldnt have brought up race in an unnecessary time, you feel me. with the topic of juvenile crime, you believe what you gotta believe to get by, and i'll do the same. but its not necessary to bring up race when its clearly not.
