source : Gravity: Indian-American teen bullied in texas school (youtube video)

Gravity News, “WION’s prime-time show which brings viewers news and discussions on current issues from India and abroad.”(wikipedia) supports the claim that many immigrants are facing discrimination in schools, a place where they are supposed to feel safe. For example, it states in the video “teen in chokehold faced 3 days of punishment. His parents are outraged. Other teens faced 1 day of punishment.” This piece of evidence supports that immigrants face discrimination because an immigrant Indian boy is being bullied not verbally but physically, and there is video proof to support this, yet he faces more consequences than the white non-immigrant boy causing the physical abuse. By posting this video Gravity News isn’t only highlights the discrimination that immigrants face but also highlights how awful the schooling system is in the United States. Because of the author’s tone and evidence we can say that his audience isn’t just immigrants but everyone who has the internet since it’s a NewsChannel it can reach many people world wide.
