[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is the kind of thing that gives me pause about sending my kids to a school like Whitman. Yes, the academics are good by public school standards, but then you have a huge lack of diversity to contend with. If the school's make-up was more like BCC the N word wouldn't be getting thrown around like that because there would be a fear of peer-to-peer repercussions. Which is much more impactful than adults slapping them on the wrist. [/quote]

Have you been at places around BCC at lunchtime? There is plenty of the N word from all races. And I’m sure a other more diverse schools in the area too. [/quote]

Black kids using it among each other is a completely different scenario than two white kids ganging up on a black kid and saying it. I'm sure I don't need to break that down for you? [/quote]

First off? It is not just black kids using the word.  Latinos also commonly use it.  And honestly, some Asian young men also use it to refer to each other.

Again, this is why context matters.  Do we know that it was two white kids using the word?  Or two Asian kids referring to their friends?[/quote]
