[quote=Anonymous]I would reach out to the mom, by email, and express your concern. That gives the mom time to digest the information, figure out if it is true, apologize, etc. it also will give you an idea of if she takes it seriously. If she ignores the email or makes light of it. I would not simply end the friendship. Even if the parents or one parent is racist, because you are losing the opportunity to show the child that people from other races are simply people. If you make ypur child stop being friends, what the other child will remember is " I cannot be friens with so and so because they are a different race." I think one of the many reasons racism exists is that instead of trying to educate , people have strong negative reactions. I get that to you the word is an obvious slur, but a lot of people are either ignorant or naive or have never been called out. [/quote]
