[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I dont think kids are racist nowadays, more like theyve grown up in an environment of extreme political correctness and "social justice" and arent quite as wide-eyed about the whole thing as many adults are.  Theyve seen the excesses and overcorrections that many adults made in desperate efforts not to be seen as "racist" and I think the term doesnt really have the same sting for them anymore, as theyve seen it thrown around liberally[/quote]

Maybe, but its more that at 14/15/16, everything is a joke.  Or, maybe everything is an opportunity to get a laugh from your friends.

It's no different from when we were kids.

We live in a very diverse area of MoCo, and its the same across all the kids of that age.  It's all racial jokes.  And I think its totally fine.  It's a way to give themselves power over all of it, and tbh, a way to show they are above.  If you're white, and you're hispanic friend makes a lame joke about how bad you are dancing, and you make a joke about their parents being illegals, it demonstrates how they are above the fray.

Now, if it just a bunch of white kids using the n-word, that's different.  But context really does matter.  Especially at this age[/quote]
