An incident happened in a northern California classroom, in which a Mandarin Chinese class was in session. A boy, a 15-year-old sophomore who attends the NorCal school, was reported to look at his grade--a 59%, an F. He was a bit disgruntled after learning about his grade and broadcasted it while walking towards his desk, and said it was "great' sarcastically. A 16-year-old student in the class was laughing about this, and another 15-year-old student said "it wasn't that funny." The 15-year-old student with the F was also ethnically Chinese, born in the U.S. to immigrants from Taiwan and Hong Kong.
