Eight U.S. soldiers in Afghanistan have been charged in connection with the October 3 death of fellow G.I. Danny Chen, who allegedly shot himself to death in a guard tower. But alleged racist taunts and bullying leading up to the tragedy of the Chinese-American's apparent suicide, at 19, have left Chen's family and friends outraged.

Family and friends of Danny Chen say racist taunts and bullying led to the tragedy, and they are demanding more action beyond the arrests of eight of his fellow soldiers.
