  1. Oh boy here we go again…

    At least this time it’s a pretty good article and not a gross twisting around of the actual incident in order to provoke righteous outrage.

  2. Rules are for all students. FFS he’s been going to this HS for 3 years right? This kid and the father knew the rules and chose to break them. The less big mouth Americans here the better. If you’re not happy with the way things are here then FO.

  3. Even other Asians with similar outward characteristics or physique have a really hard time – Chinese, Taiwanese, North/South Koreans, Zainichi, Southeast Asians, etc.

    Unfortunately for other foreigners who stand out visually, it’s going to be multiple times harder.

    They don’t kill you by spraying bullets (like in the US), they just drive you either to lunacy, depression or off these shores with the never-ending cold, silent passive-aggression.
