I think some people as kids/early teens say certain things to try and be funny/fit into a group at times, perhaps pressures at school or just trying too hard, and it doesn’t pay off, with it often being offensive and stupid. They typically do not even have the views of what they say and are just ignorant, especially at that young age. I completely agree about adults or 16+ really - they should know better.

I am a lot more forgiving of children who say stupid things as they likely don’t understand the impact and I don’t agree with the hate mob of finding old tweets of kids and blaming them and acting as if they’d said it as adults - and then branding them racists / whatever it is
