Bullies will exploit any point of difference to get at another kid, and if they get a reaction they'll keep going for that point. It's like chickens with the sight of blood - as soon as one bleeds, the others go a bit crazy and peck at the wound.
Oh, sure. It does seem as if it was 'successful' in that the angle inflicted deep wounds on her, but I was just speculating what the real, underlying motivation could have been for bullying her. Now, obviously, some children emulate their parents, who may hold such xenophobic views, but I doubt that this would have been the only thing that would have given rise to the bullying.
