Slur-loving schools chief called employees ‘white devils’: suit
 An allegedly foul-mouthed Westchester County schools chief was demoted after several employees filed a lawsuit against him for his routine use of racist profanity, officials said Tuesday. The Greenburgh Central School District Board of Education convened a special meeting and voted to place Superintendent Ronald O. Ross on “administrative reassignment pending a hearing on the disciplinary charges filed against him,” school officials said.
According to court papers, Ross has used 26 variations on the slur to refer to colleagues and subordinates, including: “White Bitch,” “Whining White Bitch,” “Black Bitch,” “Fat Bitch,” “Old Black Bitch,” “Old Fat Black Bitch,” “Nazi Bitch,” “Russian Bitch,” “Cancer Bitch,” “Jew Bitch,” “Midget Bitch,” “fat drunk bitch,” “False T—y Bitch,” “Fake T—y Bitch,” “Old Black Bitch,” “Old Fat Black Bitch,” “Nosey Jew Bitch,” “Black Bitches,” “Dumb Bitch,” “F—–g White Bitch,” “Fat White D–e Bitch,” “White D–e Bitch,” “Drunken Bitch,” “Deaf White Bitch,” and even “Racist White Bitch” and “Racist Brazilian Bitch.”
Not every staffer is a “bitch” to Ross, court papers show. Some are: “Aunt Jemima,” “Clarence Thomas,” “White Uncle Tom,” “White Devil,” “sell out,” “crackers,” “trailer trash,” or “Oreo,” according to the Manhattan Federal Court papers, which cataloged at least 42 such offensive comments, including the stream of “bitches.”
It’s little consolation that Ross claims to be “bi-racial,” with a black mother and “a white ‘drunk Irishman’ ” for a dad, the employees say. |

But I don’t really recall how many because it’s chaos at times like that.” - (Black-on-white)
