What I find absurd is the MIS- take on what actually happened. In the video, the reporter clearly says that the two "white" students who were suspended, were suspended not because of the tshirts, but because they were "alledgedly" involved in a white supremist movement and the T shirts were a statement of that movement. The one "white" kid admittedly says he uses the term "white power" probably as much as he does "black power". Those are his words. Spoken out of his mouth.
This in itself is enough to make claim that he has some kind of racial intent in his messaging. His group of friends decidedly wore white tshirts to show "uniformity" with each other as did the others who wore pink, or jerseys.
The color became an issue when its "tied-in" with comments about white power and white supremacy and therefore, the school acted appropriately in suspending them.
There would have been NO PROBLEM had this "white" student not run around claiming white power or that he and his friends wanted to make a political statement.
The origination of the problem does not lie with the tshirts as a whole, but the peripheral issue of these boys on campus making racist statements. (alledgedly)
Whether or not the one student was asian, does not disqualify the claims as "assimilation" is always the case with students. A kid could be asian and hang out with white power freaks as the asian would not be grouped in with hispanics or blacks.
A sort of "color" neutral sotospeak.
Happens all the time, in every school with an ethnic minority/white mix of students.
All these boys had to do was keep their collective mouths shut and there would have been no need to suspend them.
Peace.
