Shocking video shows school worker punching autistic boy after racial remark

Although I agree it with unprofessional for a grown man to punch a child, considering the fact the child punched the man and also made a racial remark, I do not have sympathy for him. But considering how shitty his life is going to be, I doubt he needs more punishment.

The remark is neither here nor there. People who work in care homes often get attacked by elderly residents but there would be outrage if they retaliated so I don't see a good reason for a double-standard in this case.

I am aware of this, just because I know my viewpoint is illogical doesn't mean I can't feel it.

Odd response, surely the best thing to do in that case is disregard it completely then.

I am not the man in the video, I probably wouldn't punch the kid but I can't help my instinctive reaction which is to not sympathise with racists.

It's a remark from an autistic kid. Be an adult and rise above it. Sounds like you're plucking that mindset from the SJW fairytale of these mythical racist beasts who live underground and should be slain instantly on sight.

Not really, it's just I'm barely an adult myself and racism is something that offends me more than most other 'isms as it applies to me more, it's a natural bias.

Why should it apply to you more than anyone else? We all belong to a race.
If you're oversensitive about it then it is a problem with you and something you need to solve, not everyone else.

Stop embarrassing yourself

Did someone say something? I don't converse with people who spout bullcrap like "xxxx, that is a fact!" and refuse to give a source when requested.

I don't think that's true, it might be true in theory but I don't think racism affects all groups equally.

"A Brooklyn father says he’s suing after viewing newly released video footage that shows a school official punching his autistic son in the head.Anatoly Veltman Sr. is seeking $5 million in damages over the 2014 incident at Public School 225 in Brighton Beach, where a paraprofessional trained to work with special-needs students struck then-11-year-old Anatoly Veltman Jr.Milton Parker was initially charged with felony assault for striking the boy in the school cafeteria.

Parker pleaded guilty last year to a lesser charge — misdemeanor assault — and was required to attend anger management classes, according to WNBC.

The elder Veltman told The Washington Post that he’s still shocked that a veteran paraprofessional like Parker could have assaulted his child.“I am extremely sad that anyone at all — let alone a paraprofessional at the school — can behave in this manner with a child, especially a special-needs child,” Veltman said. “If he could wind up for a punch like that, the man has big issues.”
