So, here’s the situation: a new student, Cory, makes a racist joke about our storyteller’s Indian heritage in maths class. The teacher asks if they’re offended, and they say yes. As a result, Cory gets expelled due to the school’s zero-tolerance policy on racism.

Was the expulsion too harsh, or did Cory get what he deserved? Let’s see what people have to say about this situation…

NTA. Surprised by the joke’s racist nature; expected something lighthearted.

“It was just a joke” is the go-to response for a bully called out on his shitty behavior. This wasn’t a joke. This was constant, abusive behavior from Cory, and it seems nobody was telling him to cut the shit out (or maybe he was refusing). If he gets in trouble, it’s HIS fault, not YOURS. NTA
