Why does this stuff keep happening at Churchill?[/quote]

Because of the increased amount of scrutiny on affluent white kids. High school kids making fun of each other to included poking at stereotypes has always happened. How many times a day do you think the N word is throw around at Kennedy or Blair. It isn’t white kids so it isn’t as big a deal and those kids get eye rolls or talkings to about respect. When white kids do it the police are called and admin make a production least they be viewed as complicit or downplaying it. That said it is the world we live in and white kids need to know they are on a shorter leash with certain subjects. [/quote]
Kind of like how we now have an opioid crisis because so many middle class white people are dying from it, but when lots of poor blacks were dying from crack cocaine or even opioids, there didn't seem to be much of a crisis; or like when HIV was  a gay man's disease and so it wasn't considered a crisis, but once it started to hit straight white people, then it became a crisis.

So, yes, sh1t like this has been going on at other schools, but now that it's hit the wealthier white enclave, all of a sudden there's more attention paid to it.

I think part of it is also that society doesn't expect much from poor people, but they expect better behavior from more  "educated" wealthy people.[/quote]
