I Don't Even Know What to Make of This
I'm not one to be skeptical of legitimate medical conditions and this is serious. I don't doubt what I see on this video, but I have to believe that something can be done, right? What do you make of this?

Grace...sadly you are the one that's showing her ignorance. Tourette Syndrome is an all too real affliction that heredity picks and chooses to randomly pass down from one generation to another. The outbursts can occur more frequently when there are visual stimuli or increased stress present. The victim of the disorder knows that an outburst is inappropriate but it occurs anyway. It is a brain disorder. There is no cure, although some victims can control symptoms to varying degrees thru medication.
Former NBA player Chris Jackson, aka Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf, suffers from this disorder. Abdul-Rauf had a tick that included physical twitching, cursing, and the utterance of racial epitaphs. During high school & college, basketball officials did not penalize Abdul-Rauf for his outbursts because of the disorder. By the time he reached the NBA, there was a raised level of awareness of the disorder & it was generally ignored.
To suggest that this is caused by ignorance and that the girl in the video could control this shows that some people are idiots. I doubt that we'd even see this video link here if her outbursts were "Jew" or "white motherf*****".

Where did she learned that from? I know, her surroundings which includes her mother. Noticed she says the "N" word right when a black person passes by?? That is not medical that's her ignorance. She is not in the United States, her parent would have to fear for her life. She would get her butt kicked!
