[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it’s weak to be offended by such nonsense. I’m Irish and would be proud of someone calls me a “Mic” or said I like potato’s or assume I drink too much. BFD I think I’m better than you so your opinion is of no consequence.[/quote]

Between this and the next comment that says I’m bothered because I’m secretly racist myself, I’m not sure why I bothered to seek advice here. It helps to understand how people think, though. It seems that many people want the freedom to say whatever they want regardless of how it makes others feel.

What I’m reading is that my DD’s experience doesn’t matter and racism doesn’t exist because this white person wouldn’t mind having people say things about their ethnic group.

15:54, thank you for your sensible reply.[/quote]

You’re welcome. Maybe the Irish guy and the California woman can start a club for delusional white people who think they are oppressed. The anonymity here definitely allows people to display their bigotry and implicit bias. You didn’t receive much support, but as miserable as it is, seeing the blatant hypocrisy, racism, and victim blaming in its naked ugliness is a powerful reminder of what your DD faces. It’s evil that children have to deal with this, and as parents we don’t have any choice about when. [/quote]
