[quote=Anonymous]My elementary school DC came home and explained that they were told that they have “white and gold aura” because of white skin and blond hair. This is a very diverse school with a white minority. It seems insulting and I don’t feel like this is totally benign but I have no idea how to address the complexity of it all. Is aura commonly used as a racial slur? Is this a one-off dumb kid comment or are our kids being defined by skin color under the guise of “aura”? Was it an insult or just ignorance? Should this be addressed directly or should I let it slide and observe for now? [/quote]
