SAM: This discussion reminds me of young Bryan Phillips' shooting in Tangletown-- when white cops bristled at the idea that black cops might have inroads in getting the crime solved. Maybe race matters, and maybe race doesn't matter. But I can tell you, cultural awareness definitely does matter. Not that acting a fool is part of anyone's culture. But kids tend to act the fool when they feel the teacher (or any other adult in authority) is out of touch.
