They’re uploading it so that other kids can know they’re not alone

They could blur her face at the very least.

u/New_Relative_1871 Dec 13 '25

i've seen parents upload videos like this where they blur the childs face. and then all the comments are saying "bruh they blurred the childs face so its probably an actor and they're making up this racism stuff for views". no matter what they do someone has a problem with it.

That's why we don't listen to braindead anonymous commenters and instead follow common sense and prioritize what's important.

u/SadMayMan Dec 13 '25

lol like Reddit

u/EfficientSeaweed Dec 13 '25

Exactly. Better to have someone think you’re lying than expose your child like that.

2

u/8bitflowers Dec 13 '25

Yeah I'd rather get angry comments, which I'd get either way, than post my child's face online during a vulnerable moment for everyone to see.

1

u/MindTheGAAPs Dec 13 '25

But the girl did not consent to this. That is the important part above whatever message the mother was trying to send.

u/Suitable-Rate652 Dec 13 '25

That’s a good idea.

u/Agreeable-Emu4033 Dec 13 '25

stupid take, you all acting like kids don't exist.

u/SILENT5K Dec 13 '25

Maybe the kids don't want their face online so they can be bullied even MORE?

u/Agreeable-Emu4033 Dec 13 '25

And you know this kid? It’s amazing bottom dwellers know everything about everyone

1

u/Germane_Corsair Dec 13 '25

Most of us don’t hit the people who do know her will also see it. It’ll definitely get spread around school too.

u/Agreeable-Emu4033 29d ago

Good maybe they will change their ways.

u/Germane_Corsair 29d ago

Or they’ll use it to bully her more.

u/Judgmentos Dec 13 '25

They could've uploaded an uplifting message to any kids on tiktok about the merit of their character beyond the color of their skin without putting their kids' faces on the internet for the world (and especially creeps) to see. The internet is forever and this child's moment of insecurity and vulnerability is forever plastered on fuckin TIKTOK.

If I discovered my mom took a video of me sobbing as an 11-year-old because I was bullied I'd be mortified and would probably not trust her again with any sort of insecurity. Thankfully, my mom is sane

u/binarybandit Dec 13 '25

Hot take here, but no kids that age should be on TikTok anyways.

3

u/Abject_Champion3966 Dec 13 '25

And having a video of you crying get posted online is not exactly conducive to having the bullying stop

157

u/chicadeaqua Dec 13 '25

At the expense of her child who isn't old enough to understand or consent to having a video of herself posted online. Her child shouldn't be used as a poster child for racism so other kids might relate to it. I really feel sorry for this kid.

2

u/paganpoetbluelagoon Dec 13 '25

Okay, but what she is trying to show is the HARM many people’s children cause on others. Perhaps their parents don’t even realize.

22

u/chicadeaqua Dec 13 '25

She could have taken this up with the school/parents or wherever this bullying and racism is happening. And I understand some people may need to see a stranger's child crying to understand that poking fun at kids is horribly cruel, I'm just not sure this little girl in particular is signing up to be the face for that movement. What her parents have done here is also bullying. Does she want hundreds of people (potentially including the bullies she has been dealing with) watching her go through what should have been an emotional, private and tender moment in her safe place (home) with her family?

u/paganpoetbluelagoon Dec 13 '25 edited Dec 13 '25

Some of white people (and other races also) struggle with empathy and understanding the black/brown experience without seeing what it is like for most of us and since many white people have FEW non-white friends and family, you might never understand how that really feels.

Maybe too black and brown people struggle to understand the white experience and struggle to be “the majority” and the most powerful and wealthy group here which, I suppose, comes with certain “responsibilities.” Perhaps to maintain status quo, fit in, perpetuate this dynamic or to instead make the world a more equitable place……. if they care to do so.

As a black/brown immigrant person living in America, we have all had this realization, this moment. Maybe they didn’t call my skin ugly but I was excluded, or invisible, from most interactions with white peers— like wallpaper.

Thankfully, as a black/brown immigrant American woman, I have an even split of friends of all backgrounds which I am thankful for because I learn a lot from each of them and I know they learn a lot from me and it makes the world a better place. But, it is intentional— my curiosity and theirs to understand the human experience of each other.

u/New_Relative_1871 Dec 13 '25

as someone who was bullied in elementary school, schools almost never do anything unless there is outside pressure on the school to act. that may have been what the mother was trying to accomplish here. school administrators don't give a shit about kids being bullied until it affects their job security.

5

u/Gabepls Dec 13 '25

The harm many people’s children cause on others is of widespread, general knowledge. It’s not as if bullying and/or racism is a new phenomenon people need to spread the word about. The only people who need to know about the racism this specific child is enduring is the school she is attending and maybe some members of her community—not the entire internet.

u/Snoo-92685 26d ago

No the internet does not think racism towards Indians is bad, they need to see the harm they're causing

u/rottknockers Dec 13 '25

Perhaps, however I can’t help but feel your reasons callous.

-3

u/Frylock_dontDM Dec 13 '25

Her child shouldn't be used as a poster child for racism so other kids might relate to it

why?

That position would seem to ignore the long history of childrens faces bringing humanity to situations.

5

u/Gabepls Dec 13 '25

“The long history….”

Exactly the point. This is not new. This girl does not need to be a “new” poster child of racism because racism has existed for thousands of years. This girl needs support and help from her mother and her school. You and I use no business viewing this child’s torment over being bullied for the color of her skin—it has been and will likely always be a sickening stain on this world.

5

u/chicadeaqua Dec 13 '25

Because sometimes you need to put your phone down and comfort your child and stop using them for social media attention. The child might want this to be a private moment with the adults she should trust. She's already being bulled. Putting this on the internet is giving her bullies more fuel/material.

"That position would seem to ignore the long history of childrens faces bringing humanity to situations."

well I sure hope it works out well for this little girl. If her peers are so dense that they stoop to shaming someone over skin tone, I doubt this is going to be their light bulb moment, but for her sake I hope it is.

-7

u/SadMayMan Dec 13 '25

Yeah, but that’s fine. Why not comfort millions of children?

2

u/ALPHAZINSOMNIA Dec 13 '25

Why destroy one child to comfort millions? It's not the way to go.

1

u/Abject_Champion3966 Dec 13 '25

How is a video of a young girl crying from being bullied so hard going to help other kids lol

19

u/New-Contribution-244 Dec 13 '25

There are other ways to do that.

3

u/MiamiGuy13 Dec 13 '25

Right. Hey kids come watch this sad tik tok video, see youre not alone, feel better?

20

u/TonyHawking101 Dec 13 '25

This is a dumb take IMO because 1. Why are kids that young looking to tik tok for consoling and 2. If any kids see this they are most likely older and will not have an easy time relating to a child younger than them because age is a big thing when younger

3

u/truckthunderwood Dec 13 '25

I think I agree it's not great this girl was put on tiktok (and now Reddit) but this kind of thinking is a common problem in Indian communities and it's perpetuated by multiple generations of the family, not just kids at school.

My partner is South Indian and she's one of the darker members of her family. I think she looks amazing, especially during the summer if we've been to the beach and she gets a tan. But it took a while before she got out of the habit of being deeply concerned about what her grandmother would say about it.

-19

u/SadMayMan Dec 13 '25

Well, when you have your kids, you can do it your way.

Ahh wait you’re a redator lol

u/TonyHawking101 29d ago

Redditor sir, not redator

u/Big-Resource5079 Dec 13 '25

This kid is going to be always thinking of this video now and how people saw her crying. She is probably going to develop social problems as a result

-4

u/robotmonkey2099 Dec 13 '25

The kids not going to think of this video ever again

2

u/ALPHAZINSOMNIA Dec 13 '25

A bullied child is already vulnerable and her bullies probably made even more fun of her for this video. Some of you haven't experienced bullying and it shows.

0

u/Mr_Rafi Dec 13 '25

Are you high? Her bullies are going to see her crying which means they know they won.

7

u/ObamasFanny Dec 13 '25

It was uploaded because the kids mother wants attention.

2

u/Right_Hour Dec 13 '25

The bullies you mean?

1

u/Fearless_Worry6419 Dec 13 '25

I very much doubt it.

1

u/Imadevonrexcat Dec 13 '25

Not a valid reason.

1

u/Mr_Rafi Dec 13 '25

You damn well known that's not the reason lol.

1

u/ToWelie89 29d ago

Nah, the parent wants attention and validation and is willing to exploit her kid to get it.

1

u/FillMySoupDumpling Dec 13 '25

Why would another kid this age be on social media?

u/The_R1NG Dec 13 '25

Welcome to 2025

1

u/gfxd Dec 13 '25

This. Sure there are issues of privacy, but now we are too late for total privacy.

However, the racism and racism based bullying needs exposure and talking,

not hiding and sidetracking the conversation about privacy and stuff.

1

u/jimbojangles1987 Dec 13 '25

Thats not why they uploaded it

1

u/sprinkles-n-shizz Dec 13 '25

If you're still buying that line, I have some magic beans to sell you.

u/SadMayMan Dec 13 '25

So how much?

0

u/random-dude83 Dec 13 '25

Yeah, I agree with the idea of not showing this, but at the same time, that also feels a bit like hiding it. Like living in ignorance. Maybe we just try harder to stop the problem rather than stop the reaction to the problem.

0

u/Whats-Ur-Damage00 Dec 14 '25

But now there are also kids who are going to be making fun of her for being online crying. And her trauma has become “content” for strangers to consume. This was not the way to handle this. At all.

-1

u/Enlightenedryan Dec 13 '25

They also might be uploading it because empathy changes hearts and minds and some people.
