[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We've played a lot of all-Hispanic teams this season and I'm noticing a disturbing trend and I'm not sure the best way to explain it to my child. The aggression (and I don't mean physicality...I am OK with that) is overboard for 12-year-olds. I am talking about the amount of trash talk. It could be that they are entering the tween period and it's natural to start using curse words, etc. But there's been a noticeable difference with the Hispanic teams. And it's not just using swear words, it's saying horrible racist and demeaning things... Can someone explain this to me...? Tolerance and embracing diversity are values in our house but these real-life experiences, weekend after weekend, are starting to taint my child's views of this particular culture and I want to be able to counter that... Any thoughts? [/quote] I noticed it too. [/quote]
