    I'm not sure if this was someone's idea of a joke or what. It's way wrong though, even if I did laugh at it a bit when I first read it.
    I like Kung-Fu.

    That's really rude. It's bad enough that she's the only black person in that school. My town is so like that, but we have like, 5 black people here. I hate all white towns. Diversity, plzkthnx.

    I have to say, the article title is pretty funny.

    It's not rude. It was a placeholder, and it only showed up in the finished copy as a mistake.

    Wow. Some yearbook advisor obviously doesn't know what the hell they're doing if they let something that obvious slide. Normally whenever you take the freaking picture you have them sign their names in the order they're standing so no one is left out/misnamed.

    I'm calling bs. I think this was someone's idea of a joke.

    Signature by rubah. I think.

    Man, that is really messed up.
    I'd be pissed off.
    But accidents happen. Oh well.
    The itching sensation is a good thing.

    Man the girl on the news was fake crying lmao it was funny.But if i was a parent and since i'm assuming the person above me isnt black.When your in that all white enviroment man trust me it sucks to be of a different race then.That was more than funny it just made that girl think of how her school views her as.Which is something really she doesnt want to be reminded of.

    Simply put at her age that crap does make a person of her age jsut tear up when it happens to them because your thinking"I can't believe this is how the world view me as some black guy, some, black girl, some mexican person, some asian person, some american indian boy.
    And it hits harder when your in a all white enviroment such as that school.My opinion of the majority race is simply put.The majority of caucasins are just too disconnected with the social issues that other people of different ethnic backgorund will have to deal with.And simply put won't ever know or understand.

    But yeah this gives you some cheap laughs.

    It is very funny, but messed up at the same time. More funny, though.
