    I don’t think Girhan reacted that badly tbh. All he did was shake the lad up a bit to teach him a lesson. He could’ve reacted a lot worse but he didn’t
  • @erin4534
    the kid that made the comment was quick to shut up when he was confronted lmao
  • @kevinkibble8342
    "What have you learned?" "Just don't say it again" Not "don't be racist"?

    My dad is a surgeon and my mom is a dentist and when i was in year 2 i was told by a girl whos dad worked on a strawberry farm that my parents stole their jobs 🤣
  • @Josh-uq9un
    I think he really acted appropriately and maturely, he didnt punch the kid up just literally shook him up a little and tried to teach him a lesson.
  • That poor lad being told to “just ignore it” is the problem with our society! He should have been told to immediately report it! If he knew he had someone who’d take him seriously he probably wouldn’t have tried to deal with it himself! He wasn’t even that physical with him but I understand the school have to ensure it doesn’t continue!

    4:49 I forgot what it was like walking behind a teacher at school. It's like following a sales assistant at Tesco when you can't find a product. They walk at 100mph and expect you to keep up.
  • @vivk7889
    Girhan is so mature at his age, not only did he tell the kid to not call HIM osama, but, all muslims.
  • @spudd5832
    He didn’t overreact whatsoever, he got up in his face and that’s about it.
  • @Ben-tq6wr
    I feel so sorry for Girhan, even in this short clip you can tell he’s a nice lad. Schools need to do more than just say “this is unacceptable”. Curriculum’s need to be adjusted to teach kids about why it’s not okay. As a white British man, it’s important to stand up against these sorts of things. Girhan, and everyone in his situation are more than welcome here.
  • @zhangao4530
    That kid that approached them and asked "What you gonna do about it" is just as annoying/guilty trying to incite conflict by putting people on the spot for their own amusement.
  • @kattystuff
    I do not like the fact that a young boy is being told to 'just ignore' racist comments towards him. He did not hurt the perpetrator physically so why was he getting written up. Schools should be addressing the fact that kids cannot 'ignore' racism directed towards them unless they want to spend every day of their life being mocked
  • @anything6956
    I'm confused why tf is Girhan in a bit of trouble like if someone said something racist at my school they would be beat tf out of but all he did was literally push the kid🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️
  • @Naaomzz
    You can really tell those kids who said “they get paid more than us.” “There is no more place for others.” Are heavily influenced by their parents.
  • @mmdtube2494
    Girhan's reactions was absolutely needed towards the guy who made the comment! if he ignored it and didn't show that react who knows what would he face later... he just taught that guy a lesson in a way that makes him regretting what he's done without even hurting him, he genuinely looked real strong I think he had a tough past.
  • @spxn5753
    Girhans actions are completely justified. He actually acted pretty calm tbh Edit: Dang 817 likes that’s a lot of damage Girhan has the same cool factor as this comment has likes
  • @The-Mov
    Girhan: “They called me Osama?” You could see in Murad’s face he was thinking “ah shit, here we go again...”
  • @HeartStruck333
    No one: British schools: We don’t punish the guilty, we punish the innocent who finally stand up for themselves.
