Do you think it’s relevant that these parents live in a racially diverse area? I’m guessing most of the pearl clutching people on this thread don’t.

This. As the Dad that lives in MV, I bet that most of the people criticizing my kid and his friends probably wouldn't stop at a red light at night on Montgomery Village Ave, but are telling me that I don't understand how teenagers talk about race.

I have a 15 year old and we live in a very diverse county and he has a diverse group of friends. They don't make race based jokes with each other as most of the kid's have racist 'jokes' made to them at school so don't want to hear it from their friends.

This is the new "we don't see color."

Both sound equally stupid.

Funny how it's only white people saying these racist jokes are nbd, and when a POC makes a statement to say otherwise they get attacked.

It's 100% on brand.

It's not that you're getting attacked, its that people are saying the your opinion is different from the current generation of teens and you guys just cant seem to accept that

I'm not getting attacked, but POC who mentioned racist experiences were treated with disdain and further racism. So hearing white parents say these things are NBD and then immediately launch into a racist attack are not really selling the idea that teens saying this stuff aren't racist, and that no one minds.

I'm the Asian PP who said that it's fine for kids to joke with each other if everyone likes it, but I disagreed with your statement that "this is the world that you fought for people." I merely said this is not the world I fought for, and it's not the world my teens live in, even though they have diverse friends. I don't wish to be called dog-eater by my diverse group of friends, and my teens don't wish to be called that by their diverse group of friends either. It's great for you and your kids, and not great for me and mine. Then I get attacked by someone saying that I'm not a victim and shouldn't claim victim status. When I explain that in fact I've been subject to hate speech and race-based sexual assault, I get labeled with an "inferiority complex." I don't know if those comments came from you, the Blair parents who agree with you, or someone else. But I have good reason to believe that this post-racial world your kid enjoys is the exception and not the rule among teens in the DMV. Kudos to you for achieving such enlightenment. The rest of us get abused when we voice our experiences with racism.

That's fair.

I guess this is where the anonymous message board forum becomes difficult, because you're been responding to other people and I think you're responding to me, and conversations get crossed.

I never meant to belittle your personal experiences with racism and I'm sorry that it happened as a part of this conversation.

I am the Blair parent and I did not accuse you of being the victim nor did I label you with an inferiority complex.

If everyone likes it... is the point. But you keep going on about the dog eating, which wasn't said to you or yours. This is about the world teens live in, not about you, your experience or what you prefer to be called. Why you keep making this about you is bizarre.

NP. Our school district is 60% Black, 30% Hispanic, 10% Other. The kids all joke around about race CONSTANTLY. DD just told me about this interaction:

Black Kid to Hispanic Kid: You better stop. I'm calling Border Patrol.
Hispanic Kid to Black Kid: Oh yeah? I'm calling the Police.

Everyone laughing. DD is mixed race and think it's hilarious. So do I.
It's not a big deal. It's a constant thing.
Clutch your pearls all you want. We *actually* have deep friendships with many different minorities. They are our neighbors. Our tribe. The few white families around here? We love them too.
We don't care about your moralizing.

At least 2 people have said they were not okay with it. But I guess you don't want to listen.

What matters is the people involved. Not sure why this is so hard to understand. Different norms for different groups. That’s what this is about.

That you think teens care about what you think their jokes are about is amusing. Narcissist much?

And the point is you can't know that all the people involved ARE ok with it. Or that other people they say that sh!t to will be ok with it.

You know that your white child is ok with it, and that your white child says POC are ok with it. Why are we trusting what white dudes have to say about racism and not the minorities getting made fun of by these white kids?

If you’re not ok with it, you speak up. You don’t silence everyone else on your behalf. That’s absurd.

I am not racist but all the Caitlin clark fans are.
