This is exactly my point Umpa - it is a big deal. It shouldn't be something people are just gliding over in the coverage of the killings - racism is abuse, pure and simple - I'm not on that boy's side but I can't imagine how miserable he must have been. If somebody was taunting my accent, my looks everyday I don't know how I'd react - especially a huge majority of people around me, singling me out. He must have been very alienated, I don't care how 'weird' in personality people think you are they have no right EVER to use racial slurs. I pity everyone involved.
