[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He made two dumb, rude comments. When something happens like that there is no need to say anything. Just make a mental note of it.[/quote]

Not even if the comment is racist? [/quote]

I don't think it's appropriate for me to correct children who are not my own, unless it's a question of safety. I've had a situation in which a friend of dd made fun of what dd calls dh (word for dad in my native language). My dd spoke to her friend about it, and the friend apologized to her and genuinely did feel bad after. In a situation like this, this is my child's peer and the conversation should happen on a peer to peer level if it bothers my child. [/quote]
Which I think is totally appropriate.  It seems like this generation of youth are not allowed to make mistakes when it comes to different cultures.  So they don’t learn.  I’m Latina and hear all sorts of things.  Give kids a chance to learn/do better. I feel like the people most likely to cancel/throw people under the bus vs. teach them, are white. [/quote]
