Hi I found a copy of the first original post since the person deleted some of their comments:



Original post:

My 16 year old, half Japanese brother, Joshua, was just expelled from high school in a small Arkansas town.

Apparently, someone took offense to a shirt he wore before the VT killings with "4 out of the 5 voices in my head tell me to go for it" on the front, and complained to the office about him being "asian and quiet". Exact words.

The school contacted the police, the police and principal called him to their office along with my mother to arrest him/interrogate him, and they let loose their most damning evidence: His myspace had anime killing of indiscriminate aliens. With lasers. (No idea what anime it is, I don't watch the poo poo).

My mother and he were completely baffled/shocked at what the hell was going on, so they were completely cooperative. He logged onto his myspace/email accounts to show them everything they wanted to see.

A serious into the interrogation was:

Detective: (To my mother) Why does Josh dye his hair black? Mother: He doesn't. Detective: That's not your hair color, yours is brown. Mother: He's half Japanese... Detective: So? Mother: That's their natural hair color.... Detective: Oh.

The cops wanted to come to our house and search the place immediately, at least my mother had good sense enough not to let that happen. So they asked the school if it was pressing charges, the principal said they hadn't decided yet, and the detective was really trying to force the principal into it so he could get a search warrant.

Finally the principal said he had no choice but to expel him (way to cave in to pressure, pal), so they left, with the detective saying they'll "be out to our house soon".

I'm furiously deleting MP3s in the meantime, she's already trying to get ahold of the ACLU.


Also there are 2 big threads about it at digg and reddit

The OP has edited out his/her statements from the blog. Do you have a link to a different source?

this makes my head hurt so f**king much.

I'd like to read the story too, but the headline was enough to warrant a, "hahahaha! Friggin idiots."

I found it humorous that everyone in the thread was complaining about unfounded predjudice and then remarking "It's Arkansas, what do you expect."

Pot == Kettle.

I absolutely HATE remarks toward Arkansas. People here are not all racist redneck bigots. Yes you will still have a small town or two who needs to be horsewhipped, but dangit, thats the same in every state in the US.

Born Arkansan and Proud!!!

HAWG PRIDE!

HAHA Kansas
