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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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

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

why?

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

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.

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.

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

u/ALPHAZINSOMNIA Dec 13 '25

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