    What’s a reasonable reaction when you’re loudly (and wrongly) accused of making such statements while being recorded and stood over by a person twice your size?

    What’s reasonable when someone does that to your friend and then uses fighting words as you’re walking away?

    Go try that outside any pub anywhere in the world and get your teeth knocked out for your trouble.

      So you aren’t even willing to recognize the possibility that the other kids were being genuinely racist, got it, no need to waste my time with you.

        Oh they were accused so they’re definitely guilty!

        Starting a fight in a hallway was obviously the best way to handle this. You are clearly the genius we need to solve racism in schools.

        If anyone is accused of racism you get out your phones and then publicly lynch the person.

        It was so simple all along!
