On how to deal with this sort of thing. Anti black racism is something this kid is going to face his whole life if he is black or half black and looks it. He needs actual tools on how to deal with these kind of racists. Just saying we all experience prejudice isn't going to help him. He is obviously already surrounded by people who don't look like him and probably already thinks blacks are bad and whites are good.
