I Live in Virginia, and recently I have been suspended for 5 days for using a racial slur.
The whole story has been misunderstood by the principal and the administrators. But on monday, I was sitting in german class and we were having a discussion about North Korea and how they have the bomb. I said something to the teacher and he said "your stupid president will get you drafted and you will have to fight" I replied with "good, ill go kill some gooks" this was said in a very humorous tone and the whole class laughed. Well today I got sent up to the SRO's office ( SRO is the School Resource Officer) and he instantly starts interrogating me on the situation. I told him what I said and he threatend to bring me to a nearby city and let me say gook there. I laughed and told him that I have many asian friends (which I do) and they use the word freely and without hesitation. Prior to this incident in the same class the N-word was being thrown around and the teacher himself said it. But there was no reprecussions to that "racial slur". Also the N-word is used a great deal within in the black community and they say it infront of teachers ...and yet I have seen no reprecussions from those "racial slurs"
and lastly the SRO said he wants to charge me with a "Hate Crime" which I have no idea how he would do it since I didn't direct it at a certain individual.
But any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated.

I am just wondering if its legal to charge me with a "hate crime" and do you think if I appeal the decision would be overturned.
