[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That 3rd grader was verbally attacked. Just because your kindergartner apologized doesn't mean the 3rd grader has to accept the apology. This is a good lesson for your kid - some things hurt people REALLY deeply. And some things you can't just apologize away. From now on, he needs to come ask what things mean before repeating them lest this happen again. It's a harsh lesson, but so is life.

The 3rd grader was verbally attacked and is now recounting what happened. You're asking an 8 or 9 yr old to have grace because your son who made a mistake is 5 or 6. But he's not required to. It's okay for a 3rd grader to be hurt and to tell people about it.[/quote]

OP here. Thank you. Yes to all of this. I have not said anything b/c of all of this. I am very uncomfortable about turning the tables on the other child. [/quote]

You should not be.
This feeling is exactly why some dishonest people use the racism labels to get away with their own shortcomings.

Definitely. Because what will improve the (true) story of a five year old calling a schoolmate an inappropriate name will be the equally (true) chapter two when the White mother calls the school to try to get an eight year old girl in trouble for reporting honestly about how a boy spoke to her. That will absolutely win you the validation you’re seeking. Everyone will want to be friends with your kid then.

Take. The. L.

If this is bothering your son, make it a teachable moment. Ask him what the little girl might be thinking to still need to talk about what happened to her. Let his discomfort reinforce how serious his mistake was.

Or, you know, teach him that his actions don’t have consequences and lean in hard on that #BoyMom trope.[/quote]

Congratulations on building a culture where white people are pressured to avoid interacting with POC. I'll see you in 30 years complaining about that glass ceiling and why POC can't seem to get good jobs and opportunities. [/quote]

You should look at the data at what percentage of the population white people will represent in the US in 30 years.

Hint: it’s well < 50%. I don’t think it will be the POC that will be impacted by white people’s inability to get along with other cultures and races.

All races unintentionally or intentionally insult each other, but only white people suffer from white guilt and are manipulable that way. [/quote]
