Wait a minute - no posts about how Hawaiian Day or Tropical Day was offensive to central Pacific Islanders?  Were white people supposed to wear those clothes?  Was it Wropical Day or Whawaiian Day? 

no one mentions that it was "Tropical Day."  The school administration did not have anything to do with a small section of students dressing this way..  they showed up that way.. she said it was her first year experiencing this "day," but then says they did it the year before.. how does she know?  When she complained, because black people bitch about everything, the students where made to change their clothing..  So how is the school, or school district responsible?? It was Tropical Day!!  What other than making the students change out of the clothing could the school do??  Suspend the 70 students??  The only "offensive thing" is that some of the kids called it "wigger" day..  Technically the students could sue for the school discriminating on the close they were wearing, but its not in their nature..  Seems like in a day and age where blacks are given every advantage and leg up on everyone else, they sue for discrimination more than ever, because they always want something for nothing.. a little research will show that schools like harvard deny asian americans with higher test scores to accept blacks with lower scores..  why because blacks think they are the ONLY minority.. Last I checked asians where a smaller percent of the population that blacks.. The problem??  If they excepted all the asians who had the test scores, they would make up unequal portion of their percentage of the population..  asians are actually hurt by affirmative action laws designed for minorities.. they have also been here a lot less longer, but have overcome obstacles of racism, from american wars with asian countries, and have become successful citizens..  yes there are poor and trashy whites, but they make up a smaller percent of the white population, then the trashy blacks make up of the whole black population.. blacks make up 13% of the population, but in prison they are the majority.. this is not just in the US.. the UK prison system is filled with an unproportionate number of blacks.. most countries where blacks are the majority of the population are crap stains on the map.. in south africa, since blacks won the right to vote, there has never been another white president, and the country has slowly gone more to shambles in those 20 or so years... blacks are favored for promotion when a company spot opens up, and are also harder to fire than white people.. they get away with murder before they can be fired, as companies are afraid of being sued...  say what you want, but anyone with any common sense has witnessed things throughout there life that knows these things are true, you just cant say it without the blacklash..  am i saying that all blacks are this way?? NO, i know some really good black folk, who are highly intelligent, but these are not the norm.. all the schools around the country that are losing accreditation are all black majority schools..  there test scores are not high enough, kids not going to school.. teachers getting blamed for these problems.. then the kids change to "better" schools, and test scores start to drop at the new schools... a nobel prize winning scientist came out saying that people of african decent where less inteligent than people from other parts of the world, and was ostracized, and called a racist...the guy spent 60 years studying intelligence and the brain, yet people with no training have the nerve to say he is wrong, and a racist.. all the signs throughout the last hundred years point to him being right, but somehow spending his life studying the brain, was not enough for people to take him serious.. i am surprised blacks are not fighting to have his nobel prize taken away..

It's amazing that most of the people that get so angry about issues like these, claim to be educated black people. As in " I have two degrees" or "my father owns his own company". Fact is, as whites we're typically not worried about the harm or disfunction in our communities from a productive member of society who happens to be black. But yet, those blacks who have no values and their entire existence depends on taking advantage of someone else's hard work. All blacks, be it successful or pillaging, will suffer from the actions of the majority. In comparison, I'm absolutely sure not every horse likes hay but over time that's what we have observed more times than not. Humans tend to categorize by many things, repeated behavior being one. If you successful blacks want to bellyache about racism, how about putting the blame where it belongs, with your own race. Don't blame the observationist!

 Therapeutic massage schools use their teaching time to explain to students the correct pressure methods.Students will learn the long history, as well as all of the parts of the body. Also included in the anatomy portion of training at a therapeutic school of massage is the various joints and ligaments found in the body. Meridians or sectors of the body are thoroughly discussed and then practical experience takes this part of the course into the hands on phase of the massage therapy training course.

I don't argue that this event was wrong and should not have taken place however I fail to see how suing the school district solves the problem...  Unless I'm mistaken this is a public school meaning its funds come from taxes.  So how does it make sense for everyone's tax money (black, white, w/e) to be given to this girl because there are racist students at her school?  Why is it that the students are not being help responsible for their actions?  I'll tell you why.  Its all about money.  The school district is far more likely to be able to pay out a large sum compared to the parents of some high school student.  It's really sad to see this kind of exploitation in a serious matter such as racism but that's America right?  Money will solve all your problems kids its the only important thing in life.  Leave your friends, family, and morals behind because as long as you have money you're a success.

I think thy should make a day called cracker day and all the black kids should dress like ku Klux Klan members

This is a non-issue and the court case should be thrown out as a frivolous lawsuit.

This information is considered derogatory stereotypes that reflect British Culture African American or Black, and can be used in a pejorative sense, for its connotations of cultural appropriation.

The kids who dress like Wiggers are going have great jobs as gas station attendants and grocery baggers.

I agree with both Concepcion Prado AND skyrising, but only partly for each. To be clear, I'm a homosexual man, so I understand how it feels to be picked on. On one hand, you should place yourself in Quera's shoes. Ask yourself how you would feel if you were part of a minority, and you witnessed behavior that pokes fun at your ethnicity or lifestyle. Most people would be affected negatively at first, if not long term....and let's face it, nobody wants to feel that way. Skyrising, you have a good point in saying that the students engaging in this behavior are either racist OR ignorant, and the Wigger word should not have been used in that situation.

However, in Concepcion Prado's defense, there is ALWAYS a reason why stereotypes are created in the first place....because they ARE partly true. Yes, not EVERYONE in that minority is the same way, but then again, neither is anyone in one demographic category of people....yet, stereotypes are still created about them. That said, it seems that more Black Americans are more severely offended to words or actions that could be even SLIGHTLY misconstrued as racist, compared to other minorities. Not only that, but they also seem to hold the grudge FAR longer, and with more intensity, than other minorities. They need to wake up and realize, this simply fuels the fire for those who WOULD poke fun at them. You know the old saying, "You'll catch more flies with honey than with vinegar."

Again, the person writing this is gay gay gay, having endured many jeers and taunts and cruelties. However, I have also learned that you have to give people the benefit of the doubt,  and just let some things go, because they don't matter at the end of the day anyway. I actually LOVE politically incorrect humor (even HOMO humor), because that's exactly what it is...H-U-M-O-R. Does that mean I have some psychosis, or that I'm ashamed of being a minority? Absolutely not. Maybe, just MAYBE, people who are perceived as racist are really only making fun of the demographic helping to create the stereotype....for a laugh! You may notice that a lot of those same people make fun of their OWN demographic just as much.

Wouldn't it be wonderful if more people could take off the angry hat and turn up their funny bone. Life is WAY too damn short to dwell on the unnecessary! Just get over it!

you play that race card baby... America fears the word "nigger." It is the suppression of a word that gives it power. If everyone said racial slurs like nigger nigger nigger, kike, kike, wop, wop, mic, guinny until they had no meaning anymore, then you wouldn't have people suing and hurting each other over it. But DONT YOU SEE?? THEY DONT WANT IT TO NOT HAVE MEANING? Where would al sharpton, or Jesse Jackson be without racism? They damn sure wouldnt be preaching about "the N word" on capitol hill in $3000 suits... You, America, can stop it... but I know you wont because its just too easy to hate someone for being different, and its too easy to blame all your problems on the color of your skin and how youre a victim

Another easy way to game the system. This girl was never personally attacked, she just had to face the reality of the ridiculous culture that exists in the ghetto, black and white. It works both ways. There is no comedy that makes fun of white rednecks?I would like to see a response from the Justice Department over the racilally  motivated random attacks (blacks attacking whites) at the Wisconsin State Fair on August 4th. After scores of calls to 911 plainly describing the incident, the Police Department cannot bring itself to charge anyone with a hate crime. So, do hate crime laws only work one way?Apparently so, In the Obama/Holder administration.

Haha u stupid black girl. Dont think u r so innocent, did u hear about the wisconson fair? A bunch of black teens ur age attacked white people.imagine if a bunch of white people attacked black people? The media would be all over it and lawsuits would be all over the place.guess what? HAPPY WIGGER DAY!!!!!!

Sorry but this is stupid - In all honestly, this has been blown out of proportion - white guys dressing as rappers who use racial stereotypes in their music.  Maybe the student should sue the rap industry?

Wassup wassup...yu aint bees da only ones who can dress and look stupid.

Funny how many white people there are posting on this story, pretending to be black people.

Holy shit balls i just thought about this why is there not a white history month??? Oh thats right because it would be racist................enjoy the month of Feb. u prissy bitch u get a whole month dedicated to Africans and us white people try and create one day and all this goes down!!!!

Holy crap, All the whiners should go get a job and do something instead of finding something to cry about.

Somebody (actually TWO somebodies, the Aggrieved and her Lawyer) wants to get paid.Look, I'm black, and I think hip-hop culture is nothing to emulate or aspire to.  Quera needs to get on with her life and be an achiever, and you can't do that if you're busy looking under every rock for a reason to be offended!!

I see the word "wigger" as making fun of white people for being so damn riduculous in the way they dress. i do not see anything racist about this. 

  On this day, the white kids wore cocked baseball caps, sports jerseys, and gang colorsSo it is ok for black students, but not for white students.

If the N word is so damn offensive to black kids they need to quit using it all the time.You cant go anywhere in public w/o hearing them refer to each other as "N-----" in every sentence.Not a good image or any way to foster respect for themselves

This is offensive to everyone. These parents need to spend a year of community service in a racially dominant area that is not of their own ethnic background it is apparent that the people who raised these children are intellectually inferior to all humans! this student as well as alll of the African American children in these areas need reparation.

I guess they were mad that people were running around looking ridiculous in their baggy pants and over sized shirts and hats that they forgot to pull the tags off of.

at my school we do this thing called jew juesday where we come to school with fake noses and yamakas and try to bargain with the lunch lady for half price kosher lunches and hawk gold during passing periods. then we all talk in hebrew about killing jesus and STILL complain about the nazis cause they really just need to get over it already! AMIRITE?!

I just love when people call on the race card to call shenanigans on stupidity. In a way, she's being racist herself in her eagerness to use the race card.

It's fucking high school. Get over it.

when it comes down to it, public schools are institutions of learning. it is the responsibility of the school administration to keep this shit away from our students. it's already tough being a teenager, and our schools are there to try and give them every tool they need to be successful. in this case, not all the students were given the best chance they could to grow up and accomplish their goals, and that is why i think the girl has a strong case. the school system failed her, and they need to be held accountable.

Let me get this straight.. The black girl is mad at white kids for acting black, so mad that she cant live her life. Yet she does not care when black people act the same exact way, that is just hate right there, she just has too much hate towards the white race to act this way, wow a lawsuit and everything. If black people started acting like white people, us white people would not give a damn because we are not as racist as black people. Black people hate whites so bad they will get at any little thing just to stir up a situation, christ..

Are the terms "wigger" and "wangsta" terms invented by black students to mock white students who emulate some aspects of black culture?

If so, where is the racism when white students adopt the terms?  Why is it racist to adopt the clothing styles of some high school blacks?  What is the difference between doing this and the famous Eddie Murphy skit on Saturday Night Live, where he does a "White Like Me" spot and discovers (among other things) that white people can go to a newstand and read the magazines and newspapers as long as they like, where white people go into a store and get the things they select for no payment, while black people are held to a stricter standard?

It's so delightful how so many people here are utterly ignorant of the BS that non-white people put up with all the time. Both from people who aren't intentionally being racist and from people who are racist and happy to share. It's wearing and creates an incredibly stressful and hostile environment. A lot of folks keep their heads down because the alternative is getting bullied and sometimes there is no one you can go to because they don't care, they don't get it or they agree. It's amazing how quick the temperature in a room changes when you object to something racist that someone has said.

You can accuse us of being too PC or being babies if that helps you sleep at night, but facts don't stop being facts just because you don't have the experience.

I think it's great all these students showing so much school spirit.  We had dress up days like this at my school and the only people that participated where the teachers.

GET OFF THE F*CKING INTERNET YOU WHINY BABIES

seriously, stop bitching, noone really gives a fuck anymore if this is offensive to you all, you all played the victim too damn much. grow a pair, and take it as it is, a joke

Oh come on. While the facebook group was obviously offensive and could count as harassment, the dress-up day is not, other than the name, which should be changed to something like "Rapper Day." No one, absolutely no one, makes any race in particular dress in this particular way, and therefore even if one race has chosen to embrace it more than others, imitating it is not any more "racist" or "hostile" than listening to certain kinds of music is. Our society is way too litigious, and that's not a good way to live. While there may have been more serious offenses going on in this school that actually did create a "hostile racial environment," they are not mentioned here, and anyone up in arms about this dress-up day is taking themselves much too seriously. Not only that, but it's worth remembering, in this case, that "imitation is the sincerest form of flattery." Unless there were much more serious racial incidents that were not mentioned here, no one but Pruitt was responsible for losing out on her senior year.
