Unless you are not telling all (understandable) then you need to be asking him to give complete examples of how he's made fun of, and the names called. And exactly who is doing this. How he is responding to this ordeal. (You need to be observant of changes in his behaviour)
You also need to be contacting the school and make arrangement to talk to his teachers.
Children do take the mick out of each other (it seems to me more so with this generation-my son and his friends are pure jokers, if you didn't know them you would think it was malicious) It could just be that your brother is not used to this behaviour and/or is sensitive to it.
Hope you sort it out.

I agree. You cant lay lay about this. Can see how it can happen. Your bro maybe shy/ maybe quiet natured and once one cursing session starts and he doesnt defend it adequately/ its a snowball effect and people take set on him as easy target. Its a difficult one but if its one thing I think you should do with your brother (looking from then outside) is to instill some confidence in him in ways he may not have it. I dont neccessarily think its a race based problem though it cant help being one of a handful. But if he has confidence he could be at school with 50 hardback BNP youths and still hold his own. Get him into something that he can be good at so he
earns confidence for himself rather than you showering praise which is worthless if he knows your plan.
For the record secondary school I made friendships that have lasted 20+ yeras. I always thought you couldnt help but make friend in your first year of secondary school. At that age you are free from inhibitions and most of the 'crews' were formed within the first 2 weeks.
Good luck.
