[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DH and I were appalled with our kid coming home this year with a lot of "jokes" targeting Mexicans. What's with that? Latinos aren't really a presence in the school (Deal) or the community. Does the anti-Hispanic racism here reflect the general US racism? Is it something that Black and White kids can safely bond over? Our kid apparently shares these "jokes" with a mixed group. Are we so focused these days on anti-gay bullying that we've forgotten other forms of hateful behavior? In any case I hope this thread starts a discussion about how to stop this. Needless to say that we told the little doofus that this kind of stupid hateful nonsense has NO place in our house, and if we ever heard it again there would be trouble. The race and class prejudice still floating around middle school these days is disgusting.[/quote] We had the same experience--also have a 7th-grader at deal who'd bring those appalling jokes. What's up with that?[/quote]
