Do you think it’s relevant that these parents live in a racially diverse area? I’m guessing most of the pearl clutching people on this thread don’t.

Yup, I'm the Dad with the white kids that lives in Montgomery Village and sends my kids to GHS.
You can call me racist because I laughed a little under my breath when I heard the "dog for dinner" joke, but you'd be wrong.
What jokes have you heard your white kid make about his black friends?
Oh the top of my head, we were driving the boys somewhere and cop came up with the lights flashing and my kid said "Nate, what did you do? why they after you?"
and of course he'll called my son a racist POS and everyone laughed.
I will acknowledge that this all sounds horrible, typing it out on DCUM. But in the moment, when you see these kids that truly care about each other, you really do realize that this is how they are showing affection, making fun of the stereotypes, and taking the power back as a group.
And remember, 14/15/16 year olds are supposed to push boundaries. And it really feels like they are doing that in a safe way with each other
Do you think your kid would make that same joke if the parent of his black friend were driving? I wonder if the POC parents of your kids' friends think their kids live in a post-racial world where everyone is fine with race jokes. Curious if you've ever talked to them about it.

Funny how it's only white people saying these racist jokes are nbd, and when a POC makes a statement to say otherwise they get attacked.
It's 100% on brand.

Unless that POC is a teen, then their opinion on what teens joke about, and how they interpret those jokes, is irrelevant.
But I don’t believe we’ve heard from a teen in this thread. We’ve only heard from a white dad talking about all the jokey racism that goes on in his house.

Well since teens don’t come here to post, you likely won’t.
I’ll take the dad’s word for it and my Blair kids. This is just how they do. Sorry you don’t like it.
Are you white as well?

My POC teen has a diverse group of friends (mostly mixed race) and they do not make jokes like this.
