Your part-black/hispanic nephew gets called a nigger by the local white trash bullyq

[D.]

so, my nephew was walking to the store and got basically cornered by three cracker-ass white kids and one kid hits him in the face and calls him a nigger. apparently my nephew basically did nothing because he's been raised as a pushover so i mean...

i'm fucking furious that his dad (who is a lazy piece of shit but big looks big and intimidating) did almost nothing about it. even though he knows where the kid and his dad lives.

i mean, is this an issue i even need to be concerned about? i'm fucking livid.

[Bread Regal]

if it were me, i'd like him know that while he's under no obligation to talk about it with anyone, there are adults, including yourself, that would listen.

if he does open up to you about it, there are ways you can probably guide that conversation in a healthy and productive way.

[Bread Regal]

as far as dealing with the perps, you go to their house and let them know you're an armed combat veteran who they would not want to fuck with.

[yo soy el mejor]

let that little twerp and his father know you know what they did to your nephew. and let him know if he knows what's good for him, he will leave your nephew alone or next time consequences will never be the same.

Find the kids and give them some weed and psytrance." Albums. That'll stop them being racist AND punish their parents for raising racist kids.

Fuuuckkkk all good options.

realistically i am probably going to do this:

i also realize i spelled it "epitaph" and not "epithet"

[Mals Marola]

just so long as some understanding is established w the nephew as to the ignorance of racism & whatnot, you should be in the right direction

[D.]

I feel like me comforting him and not confronting the kid's parent will just allow a bully to continue to bully.

[vixnix]

Oh I would totally get all up in that shit. I'm not putting up with that.

How old are these kids? They're probably just pushing boundaries and being dumbasses but something should still be said.

I would talk to the nephew's parents and see where they stand. But if they didn't want to say anything about it I would contact the school and let them know so that they can look out for it on school grounds, at least.

[slunken]

Shouldnt say that word D even if younare telling a story

[duovamp]

What would Gandhi do?

[sppunk]

Sounds like on the three bullies is ripe for having his head shipped to the dad.

[Eulogy]

White trash is an inherently racist term and you should not use it.

As for what to do here, there really isn't much other than talk to your nephew and make it clear that he doesn't and cannot stand for shit like that. What that means is kind of up to him though.

Can't believe this is still not a known thing

Oh, i mean, I've heard that. But I don't really believe it. I can entertain the idea of it, but I don't necessarily agree with it.

Black on white racism is such a Fox News sort of concern. Sure it happens, but without the 200 years of institutional, economic oppression it falls somewhat flat. Headline: WHITE STUDENT GETS CALLED WHITE TRASH BY BLACK STUDENT. Because racism happens to everyone equally and we should just ignore it in order to achieve a post-racial society. It's like those Christian movies that focus on the 9 months pregnant 13 year old who is forced to have an abortion by her evil secular aunt, or the EMT who gives last rights to everyone and is dumped by the evil union for sharing god with a dying man. Because this shit happens all of the time and the WASPs are so oppressed.

You're right, that makes these cases and those similar perfectly alright. What's right in society should only pertain to some, not all.

[duovamp]

This aggression will not stand, man.

[vixnix]

So is WASP an inherently racist term? I would have thought that white trash was an inherently classist term if anything.

White Anglo Saxon Protestant is not racist. White trash is racist because of what it inherently implies about nonwhites.

[vixnix]

Oh I don't see it that way at all. But that's good to know.

I don't think I've heard it that way. Please elaborate. Is it because it assumes most whites aren't trash?

I thought it was because race shouldn't be an issue? Trash is trash and referring to a race is what makes it racist, right?

Like if I called someone a motherfucker that's fine, but if I called someone an indian motherfucker that would racist, right?

Basically you've got it.

It's not racist against white people. In case there's confusion there.

[slunken]

Also it's weird how the placement of words affects the meaning -

like, there's a huge leap in racism in between "that jew motherfucker" and "that motherfucking jew"

huh?

I just imagine D typing the N word and giggling to himself, to be fair.
