[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow, sure not a huge deal but definitely[b] a jerk thing to do and reflects poorly on you as the family. [/b][/quote]

A neighbor girl tried that with us. She had been acting mean and bullying my DD. We were keeping our distance and ignoring it.   She had some mean girls having a sleepover at her home (who were strangers to us and our DD). and they decided that it would be funny if they would do that to my DD.

My DH strode to her house after them, pushed open the door, walked in to these giggling girls and the startled parents and complained about what the girls did.  The mother stuttered that it was just kids being naughty.  My DH replied if tomorrow they burn a cross in our yard do you think it will just be a prank?   And then he strode right back.  Parents came and apologized.  And all of them remain straightened out for the rest of their time on Earth.

For reference - all the girls were White. We are POC and immigrants.  And not Christians.

DDD and cross burning are VERY DIFFERENT, but sure call it out for racism....it's not unless they only do it to PoC, which I'd be willing to bet the girls do it to white nerdy kids too.  Why is everything race to you?! BtW I'm also a PoC and I definitely don't see the world through this lens.

DP: You missed the bullying part. This wasn't the DDD of bored kids in a suburban neighborhood in summer. (But yeah. the dad sounds unhinged).[/quote]
