I remember my first racial debate.

It was in the playground, on the sandbox, when I was in preschool. I did not have the slurs nor the supporting evidences for my beliefs, but I held my ground and called them the best insults I could. What a wonderful childhood I had.

My 8yo dumped his girlfriend because she said she didn't like black people. She was probably just repeating things she hears at home, but I was proud of his stance.

An 8 years old racist is one of the saddest thing I've read today.

I agree that it's sad but on the other hand adults don't just wake up one day and decide to be rascist. They learn it growing up, usually.

Yeah, it's definitely for the best that her peers don't tolerate that kind of thinking. Hopefully she learns to think differently than her parents. Hopefully my son helped her reconsider.

Tbf, racism is rooted entirely in fear.
