[quote=Anonymous]Kids are struggling to express themselves. As a BIPOC, I would say just continue to educate but don’t project your white guilt/shame onto this situation and make this about whether you as parents are bad. Yes it is mortifying and I too have been mortified when my kids at that age said similarly cringeworthy things about, e.g., old people. Social anxiety begins at this age and children are just trying to manage it all. Probably this person talked to him and he was having a 4 year old moment about not wanting to be engaged so he pushed back in this inappropriate way. I would suggest having him get to know more brown people as people/friends instead of trying to make some big amends to this one person. It’s not about this one comment per se, more about his environment and community. [/quote]
