Son was called a monkey by a Hispanic child

The white parents have empathy for the child who used the term “monkey” because they’re paranoid about their kids getting accused of racism and facing consequences. No empathy for the Black child, however, which is why they even refuse to entertain the idea that maybe the kid said something racist. It’s actually quite sickening.

This may be it, but I don't think they would have an issue confronting their own child or another white child if they were being racist, they just have cognitive dissonance when it is a Hispanic child being racist-for some reason, on the left, Hispanics are the uber-oppressed and can really do not wrong. They can (not all of them, the ones that do) illegally cross the border, and we need to fight in the streets to protect their right to be illegal. They ones here illegally need Healthcare and we need to shut the govt down, cutting off income for fed government employees (including lots of black people), to accomplish this.

I haven't read this whole thread. Just wanted to ask: so it is NEVER ok to call a black kid a monkey? Intent does not matter at all??

Does that not seem silly to you? I mean, if a 3 year old sees a black kid hanging off the monkey bars and calls him a monkey, that is racist, even though said 3 year old would have called anyone in that context a monkey and clearly meant it in a cute/endearing way?

Yep, it is never ok.

And we know that kids or people in general do not go around calling each other monkey in the U.S., it is just not done, and yes all you moms are not calling your kids monkey.

I'm sorry... what? I call my kids monkeys ALL the time. Like multiple times every single week.

He mentioned his classmate called him a monkey - I know the child - his family is from El Salvador ( we learned this in world culture day). I asked my son what he did/said. He claims he just ignored him. We are playing with playdoh at the moment, I’m currently just in listening mode.

Can he ask the classmate why? Does your son climb well? Or was it said out of the blue?

Is is a waste of time negotiating with a racist. The only thing that works is consequences for racism.

So honest question. What do you want to happen to the racist kid? To his parents? Who should do it?

Ok cool. My kids aren't black (they also aren't white). But it's very common to playfully call your kids monkeys.
