I'm an adult on the spectrum. What about it?

Yeah, right, that one word/comment is going to make you finally consider it's racially motivated ... lol, bullshit
Your suspicions, once again, only seem to come from your assumption that any situation involving minorities must be racially motivated, which is nonsense and a scary way to look at the world. Believe it or not, the school and the family seem to be telling two very different versions of events, and yes, a comment like "Go back to Africa" would drastically change how I look at the situation, especially from a grown adult to an 11-year-old boy. It only doesn't surprise you or change the story for you because it fits the narrative that you wanted it to fit.
If anything, you seem to be satisfied that the story now fits the glove you tailored for it.
I reiterate that you're the one looking at the world through this lens, not me. You have some issues man.
So you're hinging your prospective charge of racism on this one comment only.
Whereas I considered all the initial elements in the initial story to come to the suspicion that racial biases must have been involved. And unlike you, I don't think of only the teacher as being the culprit here. Racism does not start and end with just one individual in a system that is tainted with racism. The whole scenario reeked of it.
