The student who said he was attacked, eighth-grader Omid Babakhani, 13, said he was walking with a friend to his locker when a familiar voice behind him said, “Hey, Persian,” then, “Do you want to fight a black man?"

Crystal Lake School District 47 Superintendant Kathy Hinz said the incident happened in the school hallway as the boys were walking out of lunch. She said there is supervision at all times in the lunchroom and in the hallways.

So, I’m guessing the Persian gets charged with the hate crime.

Cause everybody knows blacks can’t be racist.

The black kids get white kids to pick fights for them? Oh, wait.

“Do you want to fight a black man?” Sounds odd to self-identify one as a “man” in this instance.

Also a little suspicious that a typical black kid would use the term "Persian". I smell a rat.

What’s racist about what he said? Nothing. The attack is the crime, not the words. Why the hell does everybody focus on the words?

Regardless, I will be happy to see the hate crime charge made and stick. I love it when two certified victim group’s privileges conflict with each other.

I’m guessing that the victim has been called “arab” many times and has frequently corrected the name caller(s). That’s how Holder’s boy managed to add a new word to his vocabulary.

Most Persians don’t want to be mistaken with arabs any more than Sikhs want to be mistaken for Hindus or muslims.

Hey, Persian?

No eighth grader even knows Iran was Persia.

At least it would be an exceptional student to know that..........
