[quote=Anonymous][quote]erious question. How does a middle class or UMC kid (esp one that is white) answer this question? I mean, I'm pretty sure my child will never truly experience this . . . not on the same level as a POC. SO that's it, they're out?[/quote] Do you honestly think only URM kids face or have witnessed discrimination? Have you considered religious discrimination? LGBTQ? Gender? Age? Regional (such as people discriminating against someone for their southern accent or all the jokes about how people from WVa marry their cousins)? Every kid on social media has seen the murder of George Floyd and the recent horrific attacks on Asian Americans. This week, my kid and I witnessed a young woman yelling at an older gentleman because he wasn't moving out of her way fast enough. She got in his face and yelled that he should only be allowed to shop "during old people time." The woman had the jewlery & clothing of a goth kid and the old guy was clearly afraid as she stomped past him. Geeez, step outside your bubble for a minute. [/quote]
