Well, I guess we can agree to disagree.  These kids are the best of friends.

When the Korean kid gets a text from his mom and says "I gotta go home for dinner" and the AA kid says "oh what's for dinner tonight?  Dog?".  Its totally fine.

Its these kids taking ownership of the racial stereotypes and taking away the hate from them.  These boys are truly the best of friends and this is how they interact.

It's not a microaggression.  It's not the AA kid taking the power from the Korean kid.  Or the white kid taking the power from the hispanic kid.  It's them, as a group, taking the power back together.

It's a good thing, imo.  These kids love each other despite the adults always telling them how different they are from each other[/quote]

Are you Korean? This happened to my kid, and they were upset. They might be joking, but intention is different from impact. I don't think this is okay. And it wouldn't be okay for the Korean kid to say something racist to the AA kid either. [/quote]
