Ethnographic note:

• News stories about the incident report that the targets are a tutor and his tutee, the latter of which was a local community college student at the time. The tutor told reporters that after he said “We might need to brainstorm this way and write the essay that way,” in Korean while instructing the tutee, the CHA interceded. The tutee then began to record the incident from her cell phone. The CHA herself does not cite “Korean”, specifically, but rather “oriental” (line 1). In addition, EM2 asserts that this is not the first incident involving this CHA at this location (lines 20-21). After the conclusion of the video, EM1/EM2 contact police, who come to the scene (not recorded).
