[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I stated in the other thread that if they really had a zero tolerance policy for this kind of thing, the coaches should've have stopped the game. Give a warning to the audience, and if it doesn't stop, then the game is forfeit by the offending side.

That's zero tolerance. What actually happened was high tolerance of racism against Asian American students by the adults there.  If this happened to black players, I'm pretty sure there would've been a much bigger stink DURING the game.

As an Asian American I say people need to lighten up and not take this stuff so seriously!  My friends and I have been called derogatory names so many times as kids...we either got in a fight over it or moved on.  Success is the best revenge.  No need to always play victim.

This must be a joke post.
This is a child we are talking about who was singled out not only because of her race at a soccer game in front of crowds but also because people were making assumptions about her sexuality. You really think people need to lighten up about this? This is not like someone squinting their eyes and telling you your eyes are too small or someone pushing you in PE and calling you a chink. This is so much worse on so many levels and my heart goes out to that student.

[b]Clearly most people on this blog are a bunch of liberal, politically correct snow flakes.

Children commit suicide over things like this. Hopefully this incident has empowered her to speak out to make a difference for others who are vulnerable.

And this is why racism continues to be tolerated.
