Almost suspended for racism

Tough crowd here. How can there be three sides, if another person tells us the exact same thing, the TC told us? I'm sure it would count as the same side, hence only one side.Vilot_Hero

he know's the punishment is unfair numbnut. He didn't say it WAS right to punish them but IF keyword is IF the school has that policy then both should have been sent to the principal. Reading comprehension FTW!

So i live in Canada and supposedly up here your not allowed to say the word "native" if your white. Anyways heres the story. I was sitting math class and my friend Trevor comes up to me and calls me white as a butter and i tell him hes brown like a native. Next thing i know the teacher comes up to me tells me to leave class and wait in the hallway for the principle to come and talk to me.

He brings me up to the office and he says I'm not allowed to say the word "Native" but "First nations" and tells me he could suspend me or even expel me for saying Trevor is a native.

Then i asked him this question

"IF i was native would i be up here right now?"

and he says "Probably not" So according to him natives are allowed to say native but us white people are not.

So he gave me garbage duty instead and i had to walk around the school being laughed at.

IS the principle right or am i wrong? Just wanted to know what you guys think.

XileLord

Actually, though I do not justify the punishment you recieved, you did make a racial term out of native. When you insulted him after he called you white you did the same thing to him out of spite. That, in my eyes, is racism. The term native is not racists in itself but it depends on how you use it. That said you shouldn't have been the only one to get into trouble. As LJ said you both should have gotten equally in trouble or no one at all. The system is at fault here, that I'll agree on, but in my opnion you both were using racial slang at one another. Joking or otherwise.

Its not your fault.

There are ALOT of insensitive white people so i think its a fair rule though.

When my father came here from Africa, lots of little a-holes would call him a paki. Then fights would break out and etc. Lots of insensitive racism.

I think it would be stupid for you to get suspended, but its good they warn stuff like that (not in your case, but in other cases)

it's so funny trying to see him debate though. He gets owned everytime :lol:

He never made it that clear. It's not my fault that LJ rushed most of his post's.

EDIT: Name one thread where I got this so called "owned"?

I got called a racist by a mod, for poking fun at people who put holes in their penis.

You did nothing wrong, and even if you did your friend should have been in trouble too.

Hmm, that's weird. First Nations or Native American is the correct term, but I don't see why Native isn't allowed. metallica_fan42

Apparently in England we can no longer call illegal immigrants "illegal immigrants", we have to call them "asylum seekers". There's really no difference, it's just some jobsworth somewhere making up words to give himself something to do.

Sure dude;) As long as you think that the punishment was not fair, than we can all take a break from this great argument.Vilot_Hero

Someone has to do the garbage I guess.duxup

Exactly, he was just looking for an excuse.

*slams head on the table* Here is your own quote.

Until the population stands up and fixes these problems...ie political correctness....overreaction will always happen. To be fair you should have both gone to the prinicipal...or neither.

I could break this down like xhellcatx did, but you're a very intelligent person, and I respect that. So there's no need to break it down. I highlighted all the important information in pink. This was your first post, and I said the punishment was unfair. You stated that to be fair, they both should of gone to the principles office. But wait????What did they do? absolutely nothing. But you think different.

According to the schools policy they both should have been punished to be fair, this does not mean he believes what they said was wrong. how do you not understand this already?

[QUOTE="Vilot_Hero"]Jandurin

He clearly said "both should of gone to the principle". The "or" in there doesn't mean anything. It has nothing to do in relation with the highlighted green. Or doesn't mean "and" in case you didn't know. I have no clue why he think it would be "fair" if they both got sent to the principles office, when clearly they shouldn't be there.

So this thread has been 2 pages on topic and 7 pages on sentences?AirGuitarist87

No one should of been punished though! "native" is hardly if at all offensive. LJ cant see that(Same for a few other people).

I've never thought of "native" as an offensive word in any way before... :|

Nor have I heard anyone say it is offensive...

Everyone here agree's that saying "native" isnt offensive.Vilot_Hero

The government should have a poll for the Natives: Do you find the word "Native" offensive when others are describing you?

If it is yes then the schools should be able to decide whether it is okay or not and if it is no the schools should just do nothing and let it go.

[QUOTE="Vilot_Hero"]Everyone here agree's that saying "native" isnt offensive.Jandurin

Of course not, but when I was at my school I could say native without getting in trouble. Which leads me to beleive that the teachers have a personal vendetta against the kid, or they're not that smart.Vilot_Hero

Everyone here agree's that saying "native" isnt offensive.Vilot_Hero

That's not the point.

Dude seriously, I really honestly think that LJ didn't make a comment on the fairness of the actual decision, but just commented that it would be wrong for just one person to go to the principle's office, and for the other person toremain unpunished.

That is all that was said.

You've just misunderstood, seriously, there is no problem.
