Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsThings are getting really ugly out there. My mixed race grands who never had any problems in their
private school are now being taunted as "losers" and taunts of "go back to Africa" or "go back to Mexico" or "ISIS children." Mainly because whites don't really know their exact ethnicity just that their skin is of color and not white.

I'm so sorry your grandkids are getting such a big taste of this hate and ugliness.
I wish I knew what could be done to turn things around. The media seems to be enjoying willfully inciting people.

(3,457 posts)The losers whose self esteem was based on being "white" and thus better than anyone with darker skin realize they are no longer dominant. They will squawk and agitate for a while and eventually disappear from view.

(15,448 posts)Private school, paid tuition -- you potentially have considerably more influence on school policy and response than do those in a public setting. How do you intend to remedy this?

(3,263 posts)There was a story recently on line about Jewish kids at a basketball being yelled at
And 2or 3 about Hispanic kids at games .
The worst is I do not want my kids to hate whites, one grandmother was white, and we have so many good white friends, so let them know not all white kids are like that either
It has gotten a lot worse this year in general though I think not just with kids
The haters are feeling empowered and empowering their kids of course
They have no shame since society by apathy and the media has decided this is Ok and strengthens this country or some BS and if you call it out you are a PC weakling who hates free speech even if it is a private exchange
