Family blames Asian yobs for suicide
THE devastated family of a nine-year-old boy who hanged himself say he took his life after racist taunts by Asian bullies.
Aaron Dugmore thought to be one of Britains youngest suicides after bullying was found in his bedroom after months of jibes at school, they claim.
His family say that Aaron was threatened with a plastic KNIFE by one Asian pupil who warned him: Next time it will be a real one.
But despite complaints to the school, where 75 per cent of pupils come from ethnic backgrounds, they claim nothing was done to stop the bullying.
Heartbroken mum Kelly-Marie Dugmore is convinced the taunts led to her son killing himself two weeks ago. She sobbed: We are not racist people. Aaron got on with all the children at his last school, and for him to have been bullied because of the colour of his skin makes me feel sick to my stomach.
Aaron joined Erdington Hall primary in Birmingham last September after the family moved nearby. But Kelly-Marie, 30, and stepdad Paul Jones, 43, noticed a change in him from his first day.
Paul said: He became argumentative with his brothers and sisters, which wasnt like him at all. Eventually he told us that he was being bullied by a group of Asian children at school and had to hide from them in the playground at lunchtime. He said one kid even said to him, My dad says all the white people should be dead.
Kelly-Marie claimed: He was even threatened with a plastic knife by one boy. When Aaron stuck up for himself he said itd be a real one next time.
I went to see head Martin Collin a few times, but he only said, You didnt have to come to this school, you chose to come here.
A spokesman for Erdington Hall, labelled unsatisfactory by Ofsted, said Aaron had settled in quickly. West Midlands Police are investigating the causes of Aarons death.
He was Jewish, They were ARAB,.... ‘asian’, since WHEN are ARABS asian?
The UK — from conqueror to accomplice; a country that is on the path to betraying its heritage, its citizens.
now that is a really creative thought....I like it
Brits use the lable ‘Asian.’ This happened in Britian.
This is relatively new.
And I’ve seen the same in the US.
Somehow, North African Semites (not Jewish), who should be called Arabs, are now called Asians. As if there is some connection between China and them...
And, they are almost always Arab Moslems. (these thugs)
It bothers me that a people who have done nothing to deserve it being dragged into this with the term ‘Asian.’
“The thing I always found most odd about people of color is the people of color almost uniformly have brown eyes and brown hair...”
You mean they all look alike to you?
I agree with you, Sarah. It is veiling the truth about who is doing what...who is responsible in dark actions and crimes of Muslim radicalism.
Can’t comment on how this usage is applied in the U.S.: but here in Britain ‘Asian’ has long been the colloquial term for any brown-skinned person originating, or appearing to originate, from any of the countries of the Indian sub-continent. It’s used equally for a Hindu from Gujerat, a Sikh from the Punjab, a Buddhist from Sri Lanka anybody, of any religion or none, from any of those countries. Contrary to a widespread assumption in the U.S., we don’t use it only, or even mainly of Muslims, and ‘Muslim’ isn’t necessarily implied when you read it in a British press report. The usage long predates PC, from the time when most of the people in Britain from the Asian continent were, indeed, from India.
I thought the Brits had a word for their more troublesome former colonials: "wog". As in, "the wogs begin at Calais".
But, of course, that understandably confuses "wog" and "frog".
