In high school I was always the "Weird Kid" because I wore black leather, listened to heavy metal, was overly sarcastic enjoyed computers (and solitude in a dark basement) and spoke "English" (not Ebonics). The day after columbine I apparently fit the profile and was instantly suspended. After threatening to call the ACLU they let me back to class and warned me not to behave "suspiciously" or I will phase the consequences.
But... aren't we taught to be understanding and sensitive to other peoples differences. Oh wait! That only applies as long as you are part of the status quo.
