Oh absolutely. Often I hear people say that racism is a problem of the past and that our children are not racist.
Well, I think the problem just shifts. It never really ends. I've heard accounts right here in New Jersey where children shout racist slurs from the windows of their speeding school buses at my friends from India. How would those kids feel if someone yelled racist slurs at them?
I think we are all racists to some extent. However, I think most of us are tactful enough to not just yell out slurs for no reason at bystanders. It is sometimes easy to look at one's children and think "Oh they are so wonderful. I am sure they are not rotten to the core."
Middle school was terrible even though (thankfully) I was not attacked based on race. Children are evil and mean. They will attack each other with whatever they can find. Children have no problem being hypocritical. They will yell racist slurs and will complain when someone yells racist slurs at them.
