Racial tensions between black and Asian students

Tensions between black and Asian students at a public high school in Philadelphia erupted in a series of assaults over two days, leading to 10 suspensions and several students seeking medical treatment. Asian students at South Philadelphia High School say two off-campus fights and a lunchroom attack left them feeling unsafe and helpless, in part because they say school security guards often turn a blind eye. The school, with some 1,200 students, is 70% black and 18% Asian. It serves mostly low-income neighborhoods south of downtown and has been labeled persistently dangerous by the state, based on the number of safety incidents reported.
