A clip of Alabama high school students drunkenly trading racial slurs and casually speculating about the best way of exterminating Jews and black people has gone viral, eliciting social media outrage but little real-life response.
In the video, four high-school students trade racist banter, plastic cups in hand, seemingly unconcerned that they are being filmed.
“If the holocaust had never happened, Jews would be running the world right now!” one boy declares. “F*** n****rs, f*** Jews!” another inebriatedly agrees, while a girl protests, “Jews are fine, ‘cause they’re white – we just need n****rs gone.”
They debate various methods of extermination – “stick them in a concentration camp and starve them” vs. “you have to wait til they die off” – and move on to nonsensical political comparisons – “Republicans are n***ers that want to take white people’s money” – before the video ends.
Twitter users quickly posted the students’ names, adding that they attended Spain Park and Hoover High schools, both in the Hoover area south of Birmingham, and posting the names of the colleges which they were due to attend.
Damage control began in earnest, with two of the kids posting apologies – with conflicting stories – and begging the original poster to remove the video. A third insisted that just because he had filmed the whole thing didn’t mean he was guilty. Even the girl’s father got in on the groveling.
“We are exceptionally sad and disappointed that this would either be the attitude of some of our young people or whatever would prompt them to have such conversations,” Hoover Superintendent Kathy Murphy told Al.com after a conference call Monday morning with principals from both schools, during which she confirmed the students in the video were in fact enrolled in the system.
However, because the video was filmed off school property, any punishment would have to reflect the “residual impact in the school itself,” she added.
Spain Park High deleted its Twitter account amid the scandal, while many took pleasure in the possibility that the noxious video would follow its subjects around for the rest of their lives.

Outrage after California high school students salute Hitler and make swastika out of beer cups

Two Newport Beach high schools are making headlines after images appeared of an off-campus party during which students arranged red plastic cups into the shape of a swastika and saluted Hitler.
The group of white students from Newport Harbor High School and Costa Mesa High School posted pictures of themselves on Snapchat doing the ‘heil Hitler’ salute in front of the swastika made of cups. The images were captioned with phrases like “German engeneraing (sic)” and “German rage cage.”
The incident prompted condemnation from school officials and outrage on social media. Newport-Mesa Unified School District President Charlene Metoyer told the media that the district had a crisis management meeting on Sunday.
“We have a concern both for the physical health of students who are underage drinking as well as the mental health of our students or their friends that thought this was an okay thing to do,” Metoyer said.
She added that “more should have been done” to make sure that the students understood “the severity of the symbols” they were using. “It’s not something funny. It’s a very, very serious situation,” she said.
Others students from the schools spoke to local CBS affiliate KCAL9 and said they were disgusted by the behavior of their peers.
“Seeing my peers celebrating — not only taking the time to carefully lay out a symbol like that but to then do the salute — and smiling and laughing while they’re doing it; and that no one thought it was a bad idea is pretty shocking to me and bothers me a lot,” one student told KCAL9.
Some students, however, said that they were not surprised by the photographs — a view which was also echoed on social media where many said the incident reflected the “privileged culture” of Newport.
In a statement from the school district, Costa Mesa Mayor Katrina Foley said there was “no place” for such “hateful symbols” in the community, but warned against “vilification of these teens” over the pictures.
“Instead, we need to seriously address why teens in our community might think these types of hateful symbols are acceptable or funny and worthy of selfies,” she said.

So, let me get this straight:
A highschool in Orange County let a bunch of teenagers play beer pong with red cups in the formation of a swastika while everybody Nazi salutes at a party at the school.
Newport Harbor High sounds like the perfect place to kick spoiled brat butt.
