I'm remembering a passage from Irreversible Damage, something about how no other form of bullying in treated that way. If a Thai kid wore traditional Thai clothes to school and someone made fun of him, you'd punish the bully, say "We don't treat people that way," and then move on. You don't create a whole unit about Thai history. That would draw more attention to it, and probably be really embarrassing for the kid who got bullied.
