[quote=Anonymous]I had a similar experience to this. A woman married into my family (white) -- she is Mexican American. We lived in a part of the country with a very large Latino population, as well as a lot of Native American people. She has said many things to me that are racist both towards other Latino people (she looks down on Latinos with darker skin, those who don't speak English or who speak a version of Spanish she considers inferior to what she speaks, and people from certain other countries) and towards Native American people. I spoke up the first few times she said these things and she told me I didn't get it because I was white. Now I just avoid her and I don't let me kid play with her kid because I don't want those attitudes rubbing off on my kid. Both because I think they are ugly and wrong, and because if my white kid said the stuff she said, people would rightly think my kid was a virulent racist.[/quote]
