[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Take Instagram accounts for what they are - social media accounts that probably have a kernel of truth and lots of exaggeration

In all white environments, what usually happens is the kids simply view your child as "white".  Your child acts the same, says the same, wears the same, same type of parents, same type of house, same type of goals, and so on. So the kids just seem them as an extension of their white self with darker skin.  So when a kid does something that is contrary to the white kids thinking, it jars them and throws them off and makes them have to think

White kids are very likely not inherently trying to be racist but rather failing to realize that their "I don't see color" kind of attitude isn't good. [/quote]

Have you actually read these? Across many schools, most seem very authentic and brave, and many accounts vet the stories. Many of the stories are personal accounts of things that were public and definitely true. Saying they’re exaggerated, especially without proof, is just a way of not trying to listen. There are too many stories too. These aren’t one-offs. More than that, your view that the problem is color blindness suggests you haven’t read all these accounts, or that you aren’t really hearing the themes that get repeated over and over. [/quote]
