Mindless Hooliganism.
The school children's video that has "outraged" some people with it's "mindless hooliganism", it's "sea of aggressive white faces" that was deemed "disgusting behaviour".

A primary school suspended its Twitter profile after their version of a popular football anthem made in support of Euros 2020 was attacked amid absurd claims of 'mindless hooliganism'.
Flakefleet Primary School in Fleetwood, Lancs - whose pupils once reached the final of Britain's Got Talent - recorded and filmed their own version of Fat Les's chart hit Vindaloo.
In keeping with the original, which starred Lily Allen's actor father Keith, the video shows crowds marching and jostling into people, itself a pastiche of The Verve's Bittersweet Symphony promo.
But despite it being clearly good-natured fun, Twitter's woke brigade pounced on the harmless footage.
One troll branded the innocent children 'a sea of aggressive white faces' while another called it 'disgusting behaviour' and 'mindless hooliganism'.
It led to the school - which promotes its social media on its website - pulling down its Twitter feed. It later returned this lunchtime.
Head teacher Dave McPartlin, unavailable for comment today due to a pupils trip to Alton Towers, appeared to reference the attacks.
He wrote online: 'There are times that social media can be amazing and make such brilliant things happen, but it can also be a dark and disturbing place that really makes you question the direction society is heading.'

The only disgusting thing I saw in that video was the poor kid wearing a Man City top.
Marian Cunnington, 52, (left and right) was talking about a 'Bing' toy - from the leading BBC children's cartoon (inset) of the same name - while making price changes at the Sainsbury's store in Bridgnorth, Shropshire. While holding it, she made the comment 'should we really be selling this toy? Black Lives Matter' in June last year, the tribunal heard. Price controller Ms Cunnington was suspended that same day and - despite explaining to bosses that she was 'standing up for BLM' - the mother-of-one was fired for gross misconduct on July 2. But a judge ruled Ms Cunnington was unfairly dismissed after the manager who fired her could not justify why the words she said were offensive. Judge Richardson told the Birmingham Employment Tribunal that 'sensitivities were heightened' at the time, as Ms Cunnington's comments were made days after the death of George Floyd in the US.
