[quote=Anonymous]My DD is mixed-race and recently went through something similar but driven by her own observations and not mean things that others said. She’s close in age to your child.

DH is first generation and struggled with issues like your son’s as a kid and just wanted to play sports and eat hot dogs rather than eat food from his parents’ country of origin, attend language school, or socialize outside of school with his parents kids’ friends. He wishes that his parents had let him be more “American” so he could just fit in. And honestly, no matter how many “typical American dad” boxes my DH ticks, certain people are always going to see him as other and be jerks about it. I’m sorry that your son is experiencing this already.

I don’t have a solution, but I want you to know that your child isn’t the only one struggling. And his friend sucks and so do the people excusing it. I know a lot of kids that watch a ton of TV and overhear all kinds of garbage, but it hasn’t made them mean. I wish I was your friend in real life so I could give the mom a nasty look from the soccer sideline.[/quote]
