why so serious
So far Calvert County is the most racist place I've ever lived. My children have been called ###### by other children and occasionally by their parents as well. Each of my kids has had a child in their class that "isn't allowed to play with black people". Very nice. Hell even just read many of the racist posts on this very forum. Quite a difference coming from Montgomery county MD and Fairfax county Va.

Isn't this a shame. It's not the nationality, race or color of a person it's their personality or whatever they need to be judged on. There is good and bad in all of us so it's just wrong to generalize. In all my years there has never been anyone I didn't like once I got to know them and of course there were a few I didn't so just stayed away from them.

It is prevalent around here.... but I'm glad you see that it's a problem and can help set her straight. A lot of kids don't have parents that will correct them when they say such things.... and I'm sure some even encourage it. We need more parents like you (and your wife).

My kids haven't brought any racism home from school.
Then again, I don't let them associate with rednecks, white trash and other assorted cracker-ass crackers, so we're bypassing the racism-train right there.
I think you find more of that sort of thing among the so-called "good" kids than you do with the lower classes. At least that is my experience. I'm just thrilled that my kids are grown, with a good value system in place, and I no longer have to explain to any youngsters that that is not how we talk, or how we treat people.

In My Opinion
Certainly good that you are teaching them not to display racial stereotypes.
be a shame if they started using derogatory names to describe a certain group of people based on their actions and color.

Or impressionable, is easily manipulated by her peers, and in a quest to be 'popular' has glommed onto what is apparently the 'in' behavior.

1.People everywhere are racist. It is as alive and well as ever,people have just learned to hide it better.
2.Sometimes what is a stereotype is one because it happens so often.WalMart looked like there was a Nascar race going on simultaneously with the Million Man March on Black Friday.Sorry,it's true. I'm not racist,I make fun of everyone.
3.Your child is the problem,not the peers. If she has changed based on who is around at the time,that is a character flaw,and one YOU have to nip. My kids think people like your daughters friends are to be both mocked and pitied,and they sure as hell don't try to fit in with them.
Jokes are jokes,but being hateful is not to be tolerated. You need to forget the kids she is around,and raise her to think for herself. Disclaimer:I have jews,blacks,italians,catholics,and retards in my family,so I can say anything.

My entire family are racists and I have many friends that are Black, Guatemalan, Jewish, White, Hindi, and Filipino. Why? Because I made up my own mind and think a person is a person. If someone says a racist joke do I laugh? Yes. If someone makes a blonde joke do I laugh? Yes. It's a joke, there are jokes about every race and religion it doesn't mean that it's actually meant to be taken serious or cruel, just stupid and funny.
Honestly though, you can't just blame her friends or environment she has her own mind and decision making process that she needs to put to better use. Too many blame everything and everyone but the children. Last time I heard each child is born with it's own brain and personalty.

From what I've read from you.. I don't dare reply but well, I am feeling bold.
1. There are truly some racist people, but no not everywhere. The OP has a valid concern as it is more prevelant in areas such as Somd that lack cultural diversity. (compared to places like Montgomery County)
2. Statement reflects that you're an idiot.
3. It's known that a kid's peers are a GIANT influence on their behavior, especially in their early teen years. I am glad the OP can see that there is a problem creeping up and I am sure he/she will address it.
Disclaimer: You just may be the retard of the family.
