When it came down to the actual hallway fight, the students underestimated the fact that he was from China and might possibly know a form of martial art. Well he certainly was about the wax the floor with this one dude's face. I don't think the kid from China knew what the other kids were saying to him. He just saw that he was being surrounded and laughed at, survival mode kicked in. I seriously don't think the other kid was going to fight him. He just wanted attention. He was about to earn a butt whooping, though.
for 2 years I went to a mixed school. Some people went out of their way to intergrate but most others stayed to themselves....all sides of the fence

Sad part was ( and this is not to start another debate you all!!) because the school was located in a mostly white (and poor area) and just recently integrated in the late 70's and early 80's...there was still some resentment about us coming and being in the area to go to this school.

Some of the stores there actually refused our busness so we had to pick and choose where to go. Some went as far as jacking up prices of candy just to keep us out.

You know how I hate disclaimers. Let adults receive, process, and respond to information however they choose.

This isn't material for debate, anyway. Resentment and resistance to integration happens everyday all over the country. Then and now. Chief Justice John Roberts' latest decision is just one example of how any excuse can be used to not support integration efforts.
