I just discovered that the other week I replied to you via my own wall
so this is a bit late but here goes...
Nah it all makes sense
I guess there's a specific example i can bring to the table. Where I live is predominantly white but even moreso back when I was in school. So in my primary school there was one black lad. And he was the school bully, which is probably important to consider. But I distinctly remember a classmate, aged maybe 5 or 6 saying 'shut up chocolate face'
Was he being racist? Or just calling him on what he'd noticed as being different? I guess that's the question. Times are different now and kids are educated more, both by society and certainly from my own experience as a parent, as to why some people 'look' different etc and how we shouldn't discriminate. It was a good while later until I realised he had done something wrong, per se.
