[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DC tells me the fighters are usually girls (actually, he said "hot cheato girls", which is apparently a thing). That surprised me.[/quote]

Hmmm like child like parent I guess. Racist apples don't fall far from the racist tree. [/quote]

Hmm. .. if you actually had kids at J-R you would know this description isn't racist; it's factual. There are specific groups of students who regularly brawl with each other and yes, some of them are girls. The admin bends over backwards not to punish those groups, either, for "equity" reasons. So the fighting continues. [/quote]

You don’t need to have a kid at J-R to recognize racist epitaphs -   https://www.unpublishedzine.com/personal-essay/its-not-that-deep-the-hot-cheetos-girl-and-modern-stereotypes-of-blackhispanic-women[/quote]

It’s not so much racist as a perjorative classification.  Same as “Karens.”  Either way, it’s rude.

But a bigger question is why are people fighting, and why does it tend to be certain types of girls, assuming that observation is correct?  Is the perception that the identity of the fighters results in lack of action well-founded?  If so, what could acty Be done to improve the situation? Clearly, neither fighting nor tolerance of fighting is good for anyone. [/quote]
