The fact that someone can spew such hate at a student in a high school so close to us makes me feel afraid of what could happen to others around us. It's also crazy how in a community as diverse as OC, that people can still make such racist remarks and not even think about the privilege they have.]]> 2022-02-09 21:30:14 UTC https://padlet.com/hannahlee10/3pqu0npi8h3jqbeg/wish/2038935964 https://padlet.com/hannahlee10/3pqu0npi8h3jqbeg/wish/2038936387 Why would they say such things? What drove them to do it? Either way, even if there was a reason, things like that should require serious consequences and I hope the investigations go well.]]> 2022-02-09 21:30:36 UTC https://padlet.com/hannahlee10/3pqu0npi8h3jqbeg/wish/2038936387 https://padlet.com/hannahlee10/3pqu0npi8h3jqbeg/wish/2038937243 I find it really upsetting that this stuff still occurs even when we constantly get educated about it. People don't think about others whatsoever and they just say whatever. You always have to think before you speak. ]]> 2022-02-09 21:31:15 UTC https://padlet.com/hannahlee10/3pqu0npi8h3jqbeg/wish/2038937243 https://padlet.com/hannahlee10/3pqu0npi8h3jqbeg/wish/2038937708 Personally, I feel shocked this blatant racist attack was continuing, undisturbed, at the basketball game. It emphasizes the importance of speaking out against discriminatory actions when they occur, as these kinds of thoughts and insensitive discourse can simply not be allowed in our society. The actions of the audience member/ student is also highly disappointing considering the effort schools in our district put into educating people upon this matter. This incident highlights our privileges and how we must learn to not only acknowledge it, BUT SPEAK OUT AGAINST IT.]]> 2022-02-09 21:31:35 UTC https://padlet.com/hannahlee10/3pqu0npi8h3jqbeg/wish/2038937708 https://padlet.com/hannahlee10/3pqu0npi8h3jqbeg/wish/2038937729 The acts in which occured at the Portola vs. Laguna high school basketball game sadden me. It is angering to see how others can be so dismissive and ignorant as to put down others in such a way. Being racist and yelling racial slurs is not something to be condoned. It's honestly just shocking and very upsetting.]]> 2022-02-09 21:31:35 UTC https://padlet.com/hannahlee10/3pqu0npi8h3jqbeg/wish/2038937729 https://padlet.com/hannahlee10/3pqu0npi8h3jqbeg/wish/2038937980 i think you have to be a whole other level of dumb if you are still racist in 2022. i hope their life becomes harder because of the consequences they have to face]]> 2022-02-09 21:31:41 UTC https://padlet.com/hannahlee10/3pqu0npi8h3jqbeg/wish/2038937980 https://padlet.com/hannahlee10/3pqu0npi8h3jqbeg/wish/2038938216 The incident to me was kind of a new thing to hear about for me because a lot of the time in irvine, like the articles says, we are shielded from those kind of things. It also makes me really angry that it even happened in the first place because the kid just wanted to play basketball, and pursue his passion and now he's had to deal with so much attention and extra things that a high schooler should not have to deal with. ]]> 2022-02-09 21:31:54 UTC https://padlet.com/hannahlee10/3pqu0npi8h3jqbeg/wish/2038938216 25janghuiwon https://padlet.com/hannahlee10/3pqu0npi8h3jqbeg/wish/2038938555 Ever since settling down in Irvine, I was surprised to see how the diverse community did not face too many difficulties with racism. However, the incident at Laguna Hills has broken that illusion. It's quite upsetting to see that those who lived a life in such a diverse community can say such awful things about race. ]]> 2022-02-09 21:32:11 UTC https://padlet.com/hannahlee10/3pqu0npi8h3jqbeg/wish/2038938555 https://padlet.com/hannahlee10/3pqu0npi8h3jqbeg/wish/2038938801 After I got to know about the incident, I was shocked to see how such hateful and ignorant events could have taken place so near home. I believe that serious consequences have to be issued in order to stop things like this from happening again. People in general should be held accountable of their actions. Students should be taught at a young age about the impact of language towards others. ]]> 2022-02-09 21:32:24 UTC https://padlet.com/hannahlee10/3pqu0npi8h3jqbeg/wish/2038938801 https://padlet.com/hannahlee10/3pqu0npi8h3jqbeg/wish/2038938866 I think some serious action should be taken and that most of the laguna basketball team's staff should be fired. Especially the head coach because he didn't bother to stop the kid from making those racist comments and was apart of the verbal abuse.]]> 2022-02-09 21:32:28 UTC https://padlet.com/hannahlee10/3pqu0npi8h3jqbeg/wish/2038938866 https://padlet.com/hannahlee10/3pqu0npi8h3jqbeg/wish/2038938973 I think that more action should be taken to ensure that nothing like this ever happens again. I don't think anyone should be treated that way, since it is very hurtful. I feel upset, that even though we are educated on this racism, it still happens in our society.]]> 2022-02-09 21:32:33 UTC https://padlet.com/hannahlee10/3pqu0npi8h3jqbeg/wish/2038938973 https://padlet.com/hannahlee10/3pqu0npi8h3jqbeg/wish/2038938993 People such as Martin Luther King Jr. and Rosa Parks have gone through many hardships to obtain equality for other genders and races. Although a large number of racist cases have been prevented, many cases still occur such as this one. Why are people still fighting against equality of race and gender? Even Irvine, a city known for its low crime rate had a case of racism recently occur.]]> 2022-02-09 21:32:34 UTC https://padlet.com/hannahlee10/3pqu0npi8h3jqbeg/wish/2038938993 https://padlet.com/hannahlee10/3pqu0npi8h3jqbeg/wish/2038939265   Many people nowadays hope for a racism-free society, but when occurrences such as this happen, it only pushes up back. It is extremely saddening to see that people, such as Makai, have to deal with such a tragic experience, especially for how young he still is. As more occurrences like this happen, we as people need to open our eyes and all identify this as such an inappropriate and unjust act. If incidents like these never happened, we would have a much safer community, it's just a matter of putting it to an end.]]> 2022-02-09 21:32:48 UTC https://padlet.com/hannahlee10/3pqu0npi8h3jqbeg/wish/2038939265 https://padlet.com/hannahlee10/3pqu0npi8h3jqbeg/wish/2038939361 When I heard about this, I was kind of shocked by how racial the slurs were and wondering the reasons behind these harmful words. From history we learned and information we got from news, I thought things are better than before. The consequence of this must be shown to prevent other cases. ]]> 2022-02-09 21:32:52 UTC https://padlet.com/hannahlee10/3pqu0npi8h3jqbeg/wish/2038939361 25chungjoonyoun https://padlet.com/hannahlee10/3pqu0npi8h3jqbeg/wish/2038939791 What is the point in shouting racial slurs at the other team? Trash talking has always been a thing in sports and I don't personally think it's a bad thing, but when it comes to how that person looks or is born, I just don't think there is a point. Also, is shouting racial slurs at the other teams supposed to make you feel better about yourself, or reassure yourself that you are still better than them despite losing in the game?

Irvine, and it's sometimes hard to remember that there is so much hate in the world. It is shocking to me that someone would ever make such hurtful comments towards others, especially people they've never interacted with. Serious actions should definitely be taken to ensure that everyone knows that there are consequences.]]> 2022-02-09 21:33:14 UTC https://padlet.com/hannahlee10/3pqu0npi8h3jqbeg/wish/2038939823 https://padlet.com/hannahlee10/3pqu0npi8h3jqbeg/wish/2038940140 The incident was pretty shocking to me, especially since I have not experienced or recognized any type of racism. I believed that racism had gotten extremely better generally, or at least in Irvine, but seeing these types of incidents happen really disappoints me in how some people are still stuck in the past and doesn't acknowledge the change that happened in society the past few decades. ]]> 2022-02-09 21:33:30 UTC https://padlet.com/hannahlee10/3pqu0npi8h3jqbeg/wish/2038940140 https://padlet.com/hannahlee10/3pqu0npi8h3jqbeg/wish/2038940270 Sometimes what we neglect to address is that segregation, while not always as severe as in the recent Laguna Hills High School incident is pervasive throughout all aspects of our society. Everyone harbors personal grudges, biases, and opinions, so rather than exclusively point towards people's actions, we should address the underlying factors; lifestyle, upbringing, culture, etc. that create an atmosphere where people feel obligated to express racist sentiments.]]> 2022-02-09 21:33:36 UTC https://padlet.com/hannahlee10/3pqu0npi8h3jqbeg/wish/2038940270 https://padlet.com/hannahlee10/3pqu0npi8h3jqbeg/wish/2038940300 After reading the article about the incident that happened during a basketball game between Portola and Laguna Hills, I feel disappointed that students are ignorant enough to say things like that. As mentioned in the article, we live in Irvine which provides us with excellent education and almost shields us from the outside world. Personally I was shocked to see this take place at a neighboring high school. This incident made me realize that this can happen anywhere, and we have to really educated the students what's wrong and right. I am glad that the student and his family took action, and I am also happy to see that consequences will be given to the student(s) shouting the racial slurs. I hope that we can all learn from this incident and hopefully educate many, so incidents like this won't take place. ]]> 2022-02-09 21:33:37 UTC https://padlet.com/hannahlee10/3pqu0npi8h3jqbeg/wish/2038940300 https://padlet.com/hannahlee10/3pqu0npi8h3jqbeg/wish/2038940529 The hateful words spoken were so disappointing, and it is also shocking that there were dozens of bystanders listening to the boy for a whole minute without telling him otherwise. The way people are raised and how exposed they are outside of being privileged affects their ignorance.]]> 2022-02-09 21:33:47 UTC https://padlet.com/hannahlee10/3pqu0npi8h3jqbeg/wish/2038940529 https://padlet.com/hannahlee10/3pqu0npi8h3jqbeg/wish/2038940533 Disgusted. I'm disgusted with the way that Laguna Hills High School acted at the game, and how they act overall. I'm disgusted how people even believe these things, and how misguided some people are. I'm disgusted with all the hate in the world and I'm disgusted by the idea that it can happen to anyone. I'm disgusted that kids of various ethnic backgrounds cannot even live their daily lives without having to face these issues or living in fear of these attacks. I'm thankful that the community in Irvine is more mature on this topic, however, it also causes me to look at Uni and wonder if there are also things happening like that behind-the-scenes, and it makes me terrified to think that there are people out there (regardless of school) who walk around and carry these disgusting opinions with them.]]> 2022-02-09 21:33:47 UTC https://padlet.com/hannahlee10/3pqu0npi8h3jqbeg/wish/2038940533 https://padlet.com/hannahlee10/3pqu0npi8h3jqbeg/wish/2038940876 It just honestly makes me mad that someone would even do such a thing in our society where it seems that everyone is knowledgable enough to know that doing something like this is not morally right. I feel that the person who did this should have been a lot more careful with what they were going to say before they actually did and it is evident that it caused a huge emotional impact on the player and their family who received these insults which makes it much worse. I am wondering what actions were actually taken after the game regarding the player and I hope that it was a consequence that was fit for this severe situation. I am wishing that this never happens again and that no one has to experience this, especially during a fun basketball game.]]> 2022-02-09 21:34:06 UTC https://padlet.com/hannahlee10/3pqu0npi8h3jqbeg/wish/2038940876 25moshksarryan https://padlet.com/hannahlee10/3pqu0npi8h3jqbeg/wish/2038940974 What kind of ignorance does one have to have in order to make those types of comments. Especially now, just about a year and a half after all the BLM protests and trying to get rid of any racist remarks such as those. I think that the kid who made those comments needs to be expelled right away and be seriously taught how his words could truly affect people, either in a positive or negative way. People should turn this situation into a lesson, especially parents to teach their kids and guide them to never end up making a comment like that.  ]]> 2022-02-09 21:34:10 UTC https://padlet.com/hannahlee10/3pqu0npi8h3jqbeg/wish/2038940974 https://padlet.com/hannahlee10/3pqu0npi8h3jqbeg/wish/2038941189 I wonder if there are any events that could be done by the council to bring even more awareness to these situations. students should not be taught to act deliberately against other students. I hope everyone that was involved against the Portola student in this situation is able to learn how to be better and display ethical behavior.]]> 2022-02-09 21:34:19 UTC https://padlet.com/hannahlee10/3pqu0npi8h3jqbeg/wish/2038941189 https://padlet.com/hannahlee10/3pqu0npi8h3jqbeg/wish/2038941218 Today in class was the first time I'd heard about the incident at all and I'm completely appalled. First off, I just can't believe anyone would be so ignorant or hateful towards someone else. Secondly, I wonder why I haven't heard about this before. The principals and people in charge (according to the article) say they are taking this very seriously, but the fact that I haven't heard anything about it makes me question whether or not that's really true. Lastly, I'm left thinking about the bigger picture of the situation. The kid who said those slurs got his ideas from somewhere, and he's definitely not the only one. It's just so sad to know that there are other children out there who will have to experience racism because their classmates, neighbors, etc. are being taught these things at home.]]> 2022-02-09 21:34:21 UTC https://padlet.com/hannahlee10/3pqu0npi8h3jqbeg/wish/2038941218 https://padlet.com/hannahlee10/3pqu0npi8h3jqbeg/wish/2038941231 I believe that everything that was done was wrong. Students should be much more thoughtful before saying anything like that. Not only that it hurts the person's feeling, but it also builds a bad reputation for the speaker. I am very disappointed to hear that these things still happen because these aren't young children, they're high-schoolers, which means they should be more mature and smarter than that. Also, I don't believe that the speaker would enjoy it if a person said those kind of things to him.]]> 2022-02-09 21:34:21 UTC https://padlet.com/hannahlee10/3pqu0npi8h3jqbeg/wish/2038941231 https://padlet.com/hannahlee10/3pqu0npi8h3jqbeg/wish/2038943216 I believe that Makai himself deserves an apology from the perpetrator because he has only received condolences from classmates which clearly is not enough.
