What and why does race have to do with anything in this?

I would be more concerned to know if this was this kid's first cycle of steroids.

certainly not to that degree but i witnessed blatant disrespect and disregard to authority when it came to Asian teachers.

I haven't really experienced that, but I did once get up and walk out of the first day of class because I couldn't understand the professor. I dropped the class.

I don't think it really does, but at one or two points it did sound like the kid was imitating his Asian accent.
Take it for what you want.

so you're excusing their lack of command of English by you not being able to speak their language?

pretty sure they knew the language was English when they signed up. if they can't speak it, there are other schools in other countries in a different language

Yes, but the next year you were gone and he led the boys soccer team to a State Title their FIRST year as a varsity sport(I think we had like 7 players from an all-star team all at Woodlawn that year who played together for years).

He was 'The Man' after that. Then he choked a referee a couple years later and had to resign.

Don't think i have ever see it, but from what i have seen and been told by teachers that are american white and black women they get threatened in the class rooms.My neighbor is a HS teacher in BR and has had death threats on more then one occasion,she retired early because of it.

Looks like Woodlawn won the title in 1991. Jacques was the coach then, and was with the team until either 1995-1996, or 1996-1997 I believe. I know I coached against him in the early 1990s when i was at East Ascension. Good dude Jaques--I always considered him a friend and was a mentor of sorts for me. I will always remember a game we played against Woodlawn at the Tourist Center in Gonzales, where I got ejected by Steven Binning for arguing a call. 5 minutes later Jaques just gets up off the bench and starts arguing about some tickey tack foul that really didnt warrant his discourse, then screamed at Binning "If you eject him(pointing over at me where I was standing away from the field) , then you must eject me too!" Binning was more than happy to comply and showed Bernard the red. Everbody there was pretty shocked, because Woodlawn was up like 6-1 at the time. After the send off, Jacques walks straight over to me and says "you looked lonlee an discoureeged standeeng ther by yourself, so I decided to come an keep you companee" in his french accented english. I cracked up--but it was great move on his part cause I was pretty bent about being run. He spent the rest of the match complementing my kids from our vantage point and continued to encourage me from then on. I miss Jacques--he was a lot of fun.

That's the thing, most aren't there to teach.
They are there to do research and get roped into having to do a lecture or 2.

I don't excuse them being hard to comprehend, but if I can see they are at least trying to learn English then i'm ok with it.
Have to look at it through someone else's shoes every now and then.

Roped into? You mean fulfilling a facet of their contractual obligation?

Ok, that wasn't the best word to use.

My point is, they're there to do research, not teach.

As a current student even i'll say it sucks for us, but you learn to deal with it.

Downvote all you want my white brothers and sisters -Asians are winning (Nguyening) bigly in this country at the moment. Wedlock rates are stable, incomes are rising, families are secure, the focus on education remains. Wherever there are Asians in America there is really low social pathology.

White people not so much . White people in America are in slow but steady decline by virtually every meaningful indicator. Children out of wedlock, declining incomes, drug addiction, declining life spans...White people need to step it up bigly or we lose these American values and virtues that ironically many Asians are helping preserve.

The punk in this video deserves whatever comes his way.

Also, you don't hear of many American students these days saying "Yeah, I want to become a professor."

These universities hands may be tied when it comes to having to get foreigners because of the lack of Americans.

Yeah, but you aren't getting paid to teach in that language.

It is definitely a problem when the students have trouble understanding the professor because he doesn't speak English well enough.

So yes, you'd have every right to complain.
