Beat Up a White Kid Day

Beat Up a White Kid Day refers to a custom among some minority children in the city of Cleveland, Ohio of beating up white children on May 1. The only incident of this resulting in a court case or media attention occurred in Cleveland, Ohio, in 2003. The attackers explained the attack as being motivated by “May Day” or “beat up a white kid day,” and many readers wrote in to The Plain Dealer to report similar experiences. (via sleevia)
