so my kid comes in other day and said he was called a terrorist by kid he had known since preschool. This was not the first incident and thankfully the teacher took care of it immediatly. I think the fact he had known the kid for 10 years and was surprised and disapointed. I told him it sucks having to carry all the hate and probably picked it up from home or tv. I wonder how many other desi/ black or brown parents go through it and how they handle this sort of thing? I told him growing up i was called sandn---- and camel jockey, Arab, mexican..etc but it was not at this level in 1990s and 1980s. so I applaud his maturity he had shown through these incidents. do you think this the new normal or it tapers back down after election?
