(I'm not that person, but my experience is very similar.)

The point we're disagreeing on is precisely that. I believe that ethnic name-mockery, even in the case of Shyamalan, is inherent of the racist bullying tradition, not an isolated incident that can be considered absent context. And by calling it out, we're doing exactly what your English teacher did, which is punishing a racist remark.

Really, anyone can make the argument, "No, it's just this one thing that I do! I can't be racist, I don't do all those other things." But these things don't happen in a vacuum and racism only works one way: down.

And I'm saying that you can't really judge if the ethnic name-mockery is racist, as same-ethnicity name-mockery is very much a continuing thing. I can't judge the comment outside its context--keeping in mind the OP here may have been saying racist stuff. I'm afraid we'll have to respectfully disagree.

I'd argue that racism doesn't only work downward; the scariest racist thing I saw in school post-9/11 was done entirely by a black kid. I sure as hell wouldn't argue that an inner-city black kid marching around in the halls with an American flag over his shoulder saying "fuck the ayrabs" is above a greek-passing middle class girl on the Great Ladder of Racism, but I'd also argue that what he was doing was pretty damn racist.
