The fact that they moved is even more sad. Discrimination is at its peak. I wonder if an american kid puts a nuclear sticker to its laptop, would people react the same way.
- card_zero 2y agoI assume he was born in Texas, where his dad lived. (And was thus American.)

- thomasmg 2y agoIt could be this, or it could be: He experimenting hours and was proud of what he did. He wanted to show it to as many as possible, so he ignored what the teacher said. He was interrogated. Why more than one hour? It could have taken less then 10 minutes if you ask the teacher. Why was he handcuffed later? The police clearly wanted to make a statement or show.

- lodovic 2y agoTo be the devil's advocate, wouldn't this be the same if a white kid from the Bronx dresses up as a ghost to school, only to be arrested for coming to school in a Klan uniform? To me it seems to be a huge misunderstanding on all sides.
- mrs6969 2y agoNo it wouldnt. İf I leave a mustache like hitler, no one believes that I am hitler, but instead this would be advertasing it. Which is still wrong, but this would be wrong regardless of my background. İn this instance, they actually believed the kid would make a bomb, just because of his name. I wonder any kid with different name would go through the same.
- KingMob 2y agoCan you dig up any instances of that happening? Because if not, you've accidentally proved the racism in this incident, because we can already turn up news reports of misunderstood nerdy islamic kids, but find no arrests of caucasian supernatural enthusiasts. A nonexistent, hypothetical strawman doesn't bolster your argument.
- jadamson 2y agoOr maybe, just maybe, no white kid has been stupid enough to do that? Not understanding what "proof" means doesn't bolster your argument. Rather, it just makes you another datapoint when it comes to picking a team. I really wish certain segments of the left would learn to take an L and grow from it.
- AyyEye 2y ago> Discrimination is at its peak. It could just as easily be comically inept authority figures. I got suspended for less than this (in violation of state law).
