sorry, watch where you're going, ching chong. Oh, with those eyes. What's wrong with my eyes? Seriously, you're supposed to be like smart or something, that like you know, like pencil erasers. You sure you don't need a walking stick? Actually, I can see just fine, thanks. Look, I need to get to my class, and um, no way, we have class together. Hey, good luck finding it, okay? Everyone, we are going over your test scores from yesterday today, so uh, you're not in this class, are you? She probably lost Mr. Parker. No need to chime in, Isabella. I am actually in this class. I'm the new student. My name's uh, one second. Oh, I see you uh, H. Young. H. What? What kind of name is that? Like one of those Karate Kid movies? Like, like young. Okay, that's enough, both of you. How do you pronounce your name? Actually, I prefer to go by Katie. Right, okay, I'll make a note for next next time. Uh, please take the open seat next to Macy, and please try not to be late next.

time okay all right everyone. Now we are going over your test scores from yesterday. Oh, sorry um hey wait um I didn't get your name. Stop talking to me. Did I did I do something wrong? You're dirty. All of you are because I'm Korean. That's not true. Yes it is. My parents say it all the time. You guys never wash your fingernails or hair and I bet you only shower once a week too. You don't even know me. I don't want to know you so leave me alone. How did you forget your lunch? Are you stupid or something? I I swear know I had it. I just it's not like you even have lunch money or anything. Sucks for you. Well your lunch sucks. Hey uh you can have some of mine. I don't mind. It's be oh god oh wow. I thought my uh socks smelled bad but that is gnarly. What are you trying to do do kill us? Get that gross stuff away from us. Uh I I just thought no you didn't.

think that's what you're more stupid than Tanner. Yeah, wait. I can't believe she offered that to us. Can you believe that, Macy? Next time, just bring a burger or something, you know, normal food. But this is normal, not in our world. America. Speaking of, where are you from? San Francisco? No, really, like, where are you from? Really from San Francisco. My ethnicity is Korean, if that's what you're asking. I'll probably forget that. Where are you from again? Viet whatever. I'm Chinese, right? Chinese. See, Macy's Chinese, but she doesn't bring food that stinks up the whole area. You'll learn. Have you ever... you got a beam caught inside a state of mind where nothing really making sense? That's why I've been left [Music] here. Gosh, Macy, what are you doing? Why are you speaking that Lang language? Seriously, just stop. I thought you said I should leave you alone. Trust me, you still should, but watching you struggle has been really pathetic, so I figured I'd give you some advice. Stop being Asian. How can I stop

you if if I can do it, you can do it, you stopped, yeah, and trust me, it's the best decision I've ever made. It's easier, but what if I don't want to stop? Think it or throw it out the window. I don't care, but don't say I didn't warn [Music] you too long. I can't see life as a constant struggle between being an individual and being a member of the community. Excellent job, Isabella. Now choose one of your classmates to read the next paragraph. K, oh, okay, okay, um, Indians used to be forgiving of any kind of idiot ex ex EXC. Oh, sorry, I forgot English isn't Katie's first language. I can pick someone else. It isn't. Oh, I'm sorry, Katie. I hadn't realized. It's fine, really. If there's an e easier section, we can circle back to you. No, I mean, I've got this. Do you though? We don't really have all day, Isabella. I'm just trying to be mindful of everyone's time. I am aware of the schedule, but

thank you. Now, Katie, please continue. In fact, weird people were often celebrated. EP. EP. Epileptics. Are you sure you can read? She might be slow enough. I'm not trying to be rude. I just want to make sure we set Katie up with the best part of the book for her. Well, maybe we should choose another student to read. I'll let you know when you can chime in, Katie. Hey, can I join you? Want to play? Uh, do they even have basketball where you're from? There's basketball everywhere. No, don't let her. She doesn't even look like she knows how to shoot. Look, she's definitely going to airball. Is there anything else you could do, like Jess or something? I'll go make some fortune cookies, but I want to play basketball. Fine, take fast. It's not my fault. Hey, hey, let's go. We should get out of here. It was so sad. You should have seen her. She was like the whole time. She definitely has that speech thing. Yeah, yeah, when I hit her in the head with

like my basketball. I swear she lost a couple of brain cells. She probably doesn't have any, guys. She's behind us. Sorry, I didn't see you there, but then again, there's not much of you to look at. So hey, how long did it take you to learn English? Are you sure you should be at this school? Yeah, shouldn't you do something a little bit more your speed, like kindergarten? You guys can make fun of me all you want, but it won't change the fact that you guys are just bullies. Oh, you're done stuttering now. You finally got something to say. Took you long enough. Maybe I didn't have anything to say to you because you wouldn't understand it. Are you calling me dumb? I didn't say that. No, come on now, tiny eyes. You're so confident now. See what you want to say. What did she say? Why would I know? I don't speak Korean. I'll just guess. Okay, everyone turn to page 38. Looks like someone got caught by a lawn mower or ninja. That's enough for both of you.

Katie, if it means anything, I think your hair looks rather cool. I am so sorry, Mr. Parker, but there's no way you're going to convince any of us that that is cool. I'll have enough time over lunch to convince you because you just earned yourself a detention. Now let me ask a question. Does anyone here know the difference between an Isosceles triangle and a Scalene triangle? I think Katie, I mean Young, knows. Yeah, aren't all those people supposed to be like good at math or something? Isabella, I'm not that good at math. I never thought I'd meet a stupid Asian. How about you answer it, huh, since you're smarter than everyone? That's a good idea, Katie. Come on, Isabella, an answer for us. Don't Scalene triangles have two equal sides? Sorry, Isabella, but they don't. Let me try again, sir. Doesn't an Isosceles triangle have two equal sides, and a Scalene triangle has no equal sides? Now that is correct, everyone. Great job, Katie. Never undermine yourself. [Music] Hey, what, you want to take off another

piece of my hair. No, no, I just look. It wasn't me who stood by and watched it happen. What else was I supposed to do? You need instructions on how to be less of a coward or something. I'm not a coward. Yes, you are, Macy. You follow Isabella around and wait for her to give you an order. If, well, if you did the same, you wouldn't look so crazy despite the way you look. I know hair is important to you. People, did your parents even care? Do you? I told them it was an accident in our class, and for your information, I do care. I just don't let people like you and Isabella win. What was that? Was what? In math, you were trying to embarrass me. You embarrassed yourself. If I had that haircut, I would never show up to school. I don't know, people seem to like it. Maybe I can start a new trend or something. Are you talking about what Mr. Parker said? Our teacher? You're an idiot. He just feels bad for you. Everyone feels

bad for you, poor little Asian girl who can't even speak a proper sentence and sinks up the whole cafeteria. My point is, you don't belong here. You should go back to China, Japan, or wherever it is you're from. That way, you can be with all your ugly friends and get away with having half a brain. You're a bully, Isabella, and in case you haven't noticed, there isn't a place in this world you could fit in while being one. Oh, aren't you tough? I guess a haircut didn't get the message across. What are you doing? You want it? You're going to have to come get it and do something for me. Come what in the world are you doing? What Isabella told me to do. You did this, Isabella. Do you have anything to say about it? No, just Isabella. You could get in trouble. By who? Katie's not going to tell anyone, right, Katie? Yeah, move. It's not Halloween, stupid. Katie has something to say to you. All I am very dumb. I need everyone to help me with my work because I don't.

know how to do it. Isabella is the smartest person I know, and she's always right. She's also very pretty, stop prettier than I'll ever be. Isabella, stay right there. She didn't, Mr. Parker. It was all her, I swear. No, no, this was all Katie. What's that paper, Katie? Give it here. Racism and bullying is absolutely unacceptable. Isabella, you should be ashamed of yourself. Save it, you're coming with me to the front office, and you're lucky if all you get is a suspension. Macy, stay here with Katie. I'll be back. Why'd you grab Mr. Parker? I thought you hated me. Hated you? No, Katie, I didn't hate you. I was just jealous. Jealous of me? Are you crazy? Why? You don't care what others say about you. It's hard for me. It was even harder when it was just me, way before you transferred. Trust me, I do care. Everything you guys did, it hurt, and what you said, that hurt too. Doesn't matter if I don't show it, and for that.

I'm sorry. What I did was wrong, and I should have spoken up sooner. I appreciate that I still need time to forgive you, but I accept your apology. Thank you, Macy. Ying, what my name is Yuming. Nice to meet you, Yuming. I'm Hong. Want to grab some lunch? Sure. Cute 16. Take one. Let's get one thing straight: bullying is never okay. Agreed. No matter how different someone's experiences are from yours, it doesn't make them any more or less equal. Exactly. When you meet new people, make sure to treat others how you want to be treated. Respect others how you want to be respected. Often, embracing differences opens the door to opportunities you would have never expected, and that's what's so great about learning to respect others for who they are. Have you ever witnessed someone being bullied? Consider what you would want others to do if you were in the situation. If you're not sure what to do, find an adult, and if there isn't an adult, just remember it takes one to make a change if you're willing to be that.

change then someone else is too. Thanks for watching.
