Teacher Under Investigation After Using Offensive Gestures To Explain Racist Asian Stereotypes

Teacher Under Investigation After Using Offensive Gestures To Explain Racist Asian Stereotypes

A Sacramento teacher is under scrutiny after using offensive "slanty-eye" gestures in a lesson with her students.

Nicole Burkett, a Spanish teacher and faculty advisor at Grant Union High School in the California state capital, is facing an inquiry after a Zoom class where she used racist Asian stereotypes with eye slants.





Principal of Grant Union, Darris Hinson, called the video "shocking."

 "Please know that Twin Rivers is committed to providing all students with a safe and civil learning environment in which all members of the school community are treated with dignity and respect."





Unfortunately, as State Senator Dr. Richard Pan pointed out, Asian people are all too used to the kind of racist gestures seen in Burkett's video.

"While we can't stop individuals from expressing prejudice and hate, we can as a community say, this is not acceptable for us as a community."





Burkett is just one of many people perpetuating anti-Asian stereotypes among a rise of anti-Asian violence across the United States as a result of the ongoing pandemic and anti-Asian rhetoric shared repeatedly by the Trump administration.

No official action has been announced for Burkett's actions.

Trump Ripped After Going Off On Bonkers Rant About Room's Decor During Cabinet Meeting

During Tuesday's cabinet meeting while the press was in attendance, MAGA Republican President Donald Trump gave a rambling stream of consciousness speech that went all over the place before landing on paint versus gold leaf, leading people to again question the POTUS' mental acuity amid a notable cognitive decline.

In a disjointed monologue about the decor in the cabinet room, Trump said he stole a grandfather clock from Secretary of State Marco Rubio's office and chose a painting of James Polk because the frame matched the frame around his favorite President—Andrew Jackson.
