I revert to my comment that you should put some thought into your posts. It is evident to me that the way you process facts is not unintelligent, but careless and reckless. You fail to prioritize your thoughts well enough to be intelligible and provide a respectable argument.
Until then: you are incoherent, unreasonable, and slanderous.

When an individual can identify with mainstream culture, one that grants us conditions by which their socioeconomic status flourishes, any identification of that whether decent or derogatory, has less of an effect. Or, on the flipside, any identification of that person's characteristics exacerbates their association to a particular identity when it is not supported by the general conditions of that culture. It is oppressive, and demands a response. If that response were aggressive, the child would have fought the other child. If passive, they incorporate the comment into their identity and manifest it through various coping mechanisms. These can be positive, or negative.

That's nice that you can copy stuff from a sociology textbook. It does not change the fact that your comments were racist.

Whether or not it was an ignorant remark by that child, I don't believe we can absolve him from his duty to treat others with respect.

Was there any doubt that it was an ignorant remark? No there wasn't. And who said that he should be absolved from his duty to treat others with respect?

I leave this thought with you. Mull over it, try to identify the implications, and refute it if you feel it is appropriate. Then, take your leave from this thread. If you don't feel the OMHA was out of line in their response to the coach's actions, don't bother sending Mr. Ropchan a letter.

Who made you the boss around here? Telling others what to do when you've been here less than a month, that's extremely arrogant.

I have no problem with polysyllabic words, but the pretentious manner in which you post nothing of any real substance leads me to believe that you're just copying out of a textbook.
