No. So long as your friends in school are rich who cares what color they are.

Having kids?

Didn't you hear? White folks having white kids is now racist.

Not sure which is more heinous - racism or bad speiling.

McMurphy · 02-08-2019 12:01PM

No, what a stupid question.

Spon Farmer · 02-08-2019 12:03PM

I have thought my kids some aliens are bad, like the Borg, and some are good, like Wookies.

Subscribing. And making the popcorn at the same time. This should be good...

They didn't give any examples of the kind of responses she got.

This has to be the daftest thing anyone has done this century.

A white man and a white woman now cannot have kids?:rolleyes:

My spelling has gone to **** lately. TO ****.

I will write rein when I wanna say reign. I will to when I wanna say too.

I will say ' ah sure **** it if they sound alike they must type alike.'

Wish I could say for sure that my spell checker did that but I think I actually changed from "taught" myself.

02-08-2019 12:11PM

Only inadvertently.

Op needs some attention ahhhh

How would a person do that?

You clearly mean to do intentionally but how do you teach "just a little bit" of racism"?

ILoveYourVibes · 02-08-2019 12:17PM

We need to talk about spelling in general though. The conversation needs to had. Some things need to be said. For the good of the human race.

Cordell · 02-08-2019 12:19PM

Of course not, they will have to learn that themselves, the hard way, just like the rest of us.

Did you know brown people are better spellers than white people?

partyguinness · 02-08-2019 12:24PM

What type of horse ****e is this?

Nobody teaches anyone to be racist.

I believe the correct question is "Will anyone act in a racist manner in front of their children?" or "Will I resort to lazy/casual ethnic stereotyping in front of my children?

You could still teach them to hate one of the other races. All is not lost.

I'm fairly sure that many people have taught their kids be racist.

KKK members for example and the general ignorant.

I'm sick and tired lately of ppl trying to convince us that we are all racist.

One particular British radio presenter talks about racism at every available opportunity on this show. Just this week he did a segment on 'unconscious bias' which to my mind is not the same as racism but in his view it's racism-lite and leads to racism, and sanctimoniously directs us all to watch our unconscious biases. And of course he just had in mind western white ppl's unconscious bias, not the ub of everyone which of course everyone has to some degree which wouldn't in all cases have to do with race at all. It could be related to physical appearance, gender, social class, any number of characteristics.

It really is a dangerous thing to do to accuse ppl of being racist when they are not. Look at the problems caused in the UK within social and family groups where they have fallen out with each other as a result of how they voted in the brexit ref. For me a major reason for that is a result of accusing ppl who voted out that they are racist.
