It was a probelem in my HS, too (that I attended and at which I later taught; you can't say anything about any other skin color, but it's okay to make fun of the white people. I suppose years of opressing other people make it alright for everyone to mock the caucasian race. ;)
It's not okay. It should stop. But the guidance counselor has absolutely no knowledge of how the teacher runs her class. Heck, they may even be friends and eat together in the teacher's lounge. Go to the teacher first, (maybe she spends too much time around smart ass teenagers - that's totally my excuse) and then if you get no satisfation, the administration, perhaps a vice principal(they're the ones with the power, in my opinion).
High School is a cruel enough place with the students. The teachers shouldn't be a part of it, too.
