, the same student section heard his name and saw his skin and taunted him for being Asian American, witnesses said. They called him “dog eater,” a derogatory racial epithet.
The videos don’t include the “rice” comment, but three of the parents reported also hearing that multiple times from where they sat on the opposite bleachers. Nichol Holdaway, another parent of a Hunter High player, said she got the same response from the Roy principal when she emailed him.
