Asian Students Boycott South Phila. HS in Wake of Attacks
(Extra police presence was evident on Monday at South Philadelphia High School.) |

Several dozen Asian students say they don't feel safe at South Philadelphia High School, after several fights here last week where Asian students said they were targeted by African-American students.
Senior Duong Ly (right) says the racial tensions at his school are real:
"Even if the Asian students and the African-American students study together, they still don't like us. Because why? Because we are Asian."
Senior Amina Velasquez saw the fights:
"They just were jumping people who were Asian. And it was really horrible because a girl who was close to everyone, they just turned on her and jumped her."
