A father in Richmond says he's going through a whirlwind of emotions in the aftermath of his 14-year-old daughter being beaten unconscious on school grounds. The victim was allegedly assaulted Thursday at Hugh Boyd Secondary School. The suspect is a 17-year-old-boy who is also a student. He was arrested last week and then released to a guardian. Neither of the teens can be identified because they are under 18. The girl suffered what police describe as "serious, but not life-threatening" injuries. "I'm happy that she's able to walk and talk and all that, but still, very upset that even this happened," the father told CTV News. He said he's also disappointed in the school for not contacting him immediately, he was instead called in by his younger daughter and daughter's friends. "It would have been a lot nicer if the school actually was the one [who called] right away," he said.

The victim told CTV News the attack was shocking, unprovoked, and hateful. "He comes running up to me and calls me the F-slur, and says that he hates all Asians. And that all Asians are ugly. And then, I was on the floor and he was trying to attack me," she recalled. "Then he punched me and then I passed out." She was sent to hospital following the incident and has made several return visits since being released. "She's tougher than most kids I would know," said her father. The 14-year-old girl said she had never interacted with the 17-year-old student before. "He thought I was telling people he liked another girl when I didn't. And I don't think I could've known anyways because I've never even spoke to him at all before that," she said. Meanwhile, Mounties say they are are working with the Richmond school district to ensure students' "safety and well-being" following the assault. On Tuesday, Richmond RCMP said the incident remains under investigation by its Youth Section, which deals with incidents at schools under the parameters of the Youth Criminal Justice Act. "We recognize that these types of incidents can have a detrimental effect on an entire school community," Cpl. Ian Henderson said in a statement. Meanwhile, the 14-year-old victim says she's appreciative of her friends and family's support and feels more confident about returning to school in the near future, adding that she hopes more will be done to ensure her and her peers' safety.

The only thing I can think of is the title of the ABC sitcom based on Eddie Huang's memoir.

Taught behavior. Look at what the parents are doing.

Needs to be removed from school population

Wasn't mentioned if the boy was white

Sue the family for physical and psychological damages as well as compensation for any current and future medical bills resulting from the incident.

And also the schools holds some responsibility there as well and needs to be accountable.

I worked with a Mexican who thought that Mexicans were basically all lazy illegals and that "whites", and by that he meant non-hispanic whites, were the superior race. White supremacy does not require being white.

Poor girl

He might have called her the shorthand for "fresh off boat", or the F-slur for gay men (don't know why).

I can think of several but they are pretty obscure and highly unlikely a 14 yo would know them unless they have a grandpa that was in Vietnam or Korea.

Im sorry but if I witnessed that assault I wouldve killed him.

is this actually a slur? I've basically only ever heard it used in fairly regular conversation, sometimes even conversations involving people it applies to

white supremacy at it again

Yeah but the person could easily be black and believe in the supremacy of the black race.

The implication that any kind of racism has to involve a white person is itself racist.

What was that?

Actually the black people v Asian people feud has little to do with white people. We're sitting this one out

Uh, charge him with assault/hate crime/as an adult?

I'd almost guarantee it was a homophobic slur. Just probably using it as a general insult.

In Canada?

No way. They let that murderer, who beheaded his victim on a bus, go free. He said he was sorry and the mental health doctors basically were all no worries, fam eh.

This just happened earlier too.

F-Slur usually refers to the slur for gay men.

So, it is unusual to see a girl called that. Which makes me wonder if there is another one I dont know about.

It's Canada, where anti Asian violence is committed mostly by whites. Not sure why there is less of a big deal made of it exactly. From discrimination to violence, it is orders of magnitude worse and has been going on for longer.
