https://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-ln-racist-message-on-prom-proposal-20190514-story.htmlThis school is up the hill from where I grew up. I am not surprised one bit. They are snotty privileged little shits up there with parents who taught them these things.
They refused to come down to my 'hood to play baseball after agreeing to a series of non-league games a while ago. They were too good to come down where most people had some melanin in their skin.
I hope these brats pay the price big time for this. I hope colleges turn them down etc.. Enough of these little nazis.

that Rancho Palos Verdes does have a Trump National Golf Club there... I doubt it's a coincidence.

snip--I know that this one unfortunate event does not represent us as a school community, Tyner wrote in the letter. Racist words and racist acts have no place in our school community. We will rise above this, learn from this, and be a better school community because of it.
snip--The Palos Verdes High students promposal is the most recent in a series of incidents involving schools in predominantly white, wealthy communities in Southern California."
🤦 " does not represent us." uh huh

They've always been like this.. it's a bit more blatant now.
I don't even like going up there to the movies.. you get 'that look' if you dare intrude on their whitedom.

Fascinating.

(51,308 posts)8. You and I know that, as do most educated and informed people.
But theres a contingent around here who just love to denigrate the south any chance they get.
Oddly, they rarely comment when a racist incident occurs elsewhere.
