During game from a kid (go back to your county/spic/Mexican ... tell the referee
Sidelines parents ... report it to the league... take a picture
Random places like grabbing lunch ... I stood up for them.
At tournaments... I told the organizers.
Weird. My son has been on a mostly hispanic team for years. I've never seen anything like this even once.
+1. Same for me.
It’s easy to look the other way. Especially if you don’t “see race” and insist nothing happened. Nothing to see here!

We had bought a pack of balls with a distinct color/pattern for my kids to train with. Once while at a game for my 4-year-old, my older sons were playing separately elsewhere on the field. When we were going back to the car, I noticed a kid (prob about 8 or 9) dribbling our ball. I rolled my eyes at my older sons for neglecting to bring their ball, walked over to the kid (with his mom), and politely told them that he had our ball. Yep, our name was written on their too.
They gave it to me (no snatching!) and I went back to the car, where I saw the ball my boys had been using that day. This kid I saw had found another of our balls at a previous practice and it had been "his" ball for a few days/weeks.
I felt terrible and wanted to give him the ball back to keep--wife wasn't having it, though.

So? What do you have to add to the conversation? How does your response help OP?
Perhaps they help him get a sense of perspective?
You should hear the racist stuff said in Spanish dios mio!!

Your kid ran into a jerk. Your kid stood up for himself, which is a good thing. The jerk returned the ball. End of story.
And what do you expect your soccer coach to do? Open up an investigation?
From one minority to another...don't be a victim and don't teach your kid to be a victim.
Plus 1000. Coming from another minority.
+100 a Latina
(On another note, the New York woman looks Latina to me)
