I would love if people were educated about the history and stuff if they incorrectly used it. But thats not what would happen in most cases if we are honest..it would be instant cries of 'racist'...get the parents called in, they are clearly teaching the kids the wrong stuff, etc etc |
So white kid uses word he hears black kid use and gets in trouble. If he was 5, as you used in a previous example, then I doubt he'd be labelled a racist without first asking him where he'd heard that word before. If he said that, then why would he be in trouble? If he said it's what my dad calls the neighbour, then there are obvious issues there.
5 year olds aren't racist.
