[quote=Anonymous]I didn't read all the posts (after the one where OP explained the slur and context), but I would be careful about jumping to conclusions. I say this as a mom of a middle eastern child (I am not middle eastern myself) who is four years old. I cannot FATHOM an adult saying something like
you described to a child's face. If your daughter had overheard dad saying it to mom I would be much more likely to believe it. I just know that my own daughter, who is admittedly a little younger, comes home all the time with warped versions of stories. I don't think she's even intentionally lying or anything, they just have a hard time separating fantasy from reality and also with hearing things correctly. There are some awful, totally racist people out there (trust me I know) but to say that statement to a child? Unless this guy is like a KKK member living in a trailer park, I would be skeptical. It would be terrible if your daughters friendship was ruined because she heard wrong. [/quote]
