[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You have to say something just in case there's more to the story, especially if you're like PP and plan to tell other parents about it. You're positive it was the dad? Not an uncle, neighbor, grandpa? [/quote]

Why are so many people on this board so desperate to "prove" that a total stranger to them wasn't racist? [/quote]

It just seems likely that he said Hispanic and not 'spic, and I like to caution against wielding the pitchforks when it may not have happened the way the 5 year said. I prefer to give people the benefit of the doubt until I know. If OP has more interaction with the guy she may get her answer. I think we are way to quick to judge and dismiss people. Maybe he's racist. Maybe he's not. I would probably let it go myself, and would try to get to know the parents a little better before letting my kid over there for a play date. I would not cut off the kids friendship, though. You can meet at the park or have the friend over to your own house.  [/quote]
