Georgetown students hurl racial slurs at black student, refer to her as a slave

A 12-year-old girl in Georgetown, Texas, said her fellow classmates told her she looked like an ape, called her a slave and pretended to whip her.

The girl is a student at Tippit Middle School in Georgetown ISD. According a report obtained by the Austin-American Statesman, in March a classmate followed a black student around the school tennis court saying, "you're my slave now." The girl allegedly used a piece of trash and pretended it was a whip. She's also accused of pointing at a picture of an ape on her phone and saying, "This is what you look like."

The victim also pointed out a boy who reportedly began a dispute in the cafeteria. When confronted he allegedly said, "You're not really going to take the word of a BLACK person over the word of a WHITE person, are you?"

In a separate incident in May, a boy reportedly moved from his classroom seat, away from the black student, and said he didn't "sit next to apes."
