[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That kind of remark said towards black students in any context is not appropriate, especially in the current charged climate. To claim ignorance defies imagination with all the racist attacks on school property. [/quote]

Don't judge until you know the entire story.

No one should make a comment that all people of a given race look alike, some people have face blindness. I have a form of face blindness and cannot distinguish people by faces. I have to look at hair color and hairstyle, skin color, context, height, clothing choices, even how they walk. Most people who know me don't know I have that condition because I have learned to cover it up. However, I have walked past people I know very well without saying hi when I saw them out of context or with a new hair color.

I could totally see a teacher who is frustrated with a new class of students whose attributes they need to remember letting that slip. Is it right? No, the person should be more careful not to offend knowing the comment is hurtful even if not racist.  Is it something that should get them fired? Maybe not since it wasn't due to racism.
