[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It might not be meant to be mean. https://www.today.com/parents/teens/aura-meaning-slang-rcna192018 "You may think aura is just a simple description of someone's vibe, but it's actually way more than that, according to the internet. Nowadays, aura is used as a compliment, essentially calling someone cool or suave." Just tell your kid that for historical reasons, commenting on people's skin and hair colors is socially risky. If it was meant as a compliment, I'd say thanks and move on. [/quote] +1 You don't say how old your kid is but my teens talk about "aura" a lot, and its always in a positive or complimentary way. Kids who are not cool have no aura. I've never heard them refer to someone's race in this context, but this sounds a bit like they are exoticizing your kid based on skin and hair color. So probably well-intentioned but problematic. You should address it but not overreact.[/quote]
