But I just want to [...] I don't know if he did it to test me, but I'll only adopt if it's a little black guy, very little black'. I said: you won't. I said: if you arrive, I'll put it on the neighbor", says the teacher. The speech was recorded by a student in the class and later published on a social network. As of this Wednesday (22), the video had accumulated around 600 thousand views. Soon after, it is possible to hear a student comment: "You look like a racist."
