A federal district court in Charleston, South Carolina recently ruled in favor of a white teacher who was verbally abused and subjected to a racially hostile work environment by her students who happened to be black. The teacher was called a white b__, a white m___ f___, a white c___, and a white h_. When she complained, school officials responded that the slurs were part of the culture of the students and advised her to find another school if she could not handle the language. A jury awarded the teacher $307,500 in lost income and emotional distress damages; when the judge affirmed the liability ruling but required a new trial on damages the parties settled the case for $200,000.
It's not "black culture," it's ignorant and abusive and indefensible behavior.

Why is the background black?
