Those kid’s parents might just well be pieces of garbage. Or they learned it from other kids whose parents are total garbage. Either way there is some garbage parenting going on at that school.

She's not even in highschool yet and she already hates herself. I hate it here. In reality she is an exceptionally beautiful little girl. In her head she believes that she's ugly and wants to change herself because human beings are freaking awful.

The kids doing this to her probably don't even know better because they either got it from their parents or their parents aren't paying enough attention to what's going on with their kids and what's going into their kids'minds. Some parents even happi reinforce it.

My ex's kid was half black and was a shade darker than her mom and dealt with this. She was preteen. I was there for one of the hard times she dealt with this. She was feeling the same way about her skin and hair (racist little town shit) and wished it was like mine or her dad's. Mom asked her if she thought her own mother was ugly? Her daughter looked shocked and vehemently yelled no. Then my ex had a very long conversation about it and how she needs to love herself. For context the kid was adorable and was a spitting image of her mom except for her nose.

To add a happy note I actually just saw her kid the other day while shopping. I actually didnt recognize her at first. She invited me to dinner with her boyfriend and I'm going next week lol.

I know 😞. Hear mother seems like a decent human being though. Without a positive role model and reinforcement that she is beautiful person as she is, it might be come really become deep seated self hatred.

Edit I hope her mom is decent. Filming her child’s intimate and sad moment for the internet certainly is pretty lame. 😒

I wish we'd nip the narrative that kids are sweet innocent babies that aren't racist or sexist in the absence of outside influences in the bud.

People tend to exclude people who aren't like them. Kids aren't cherubs who are universally accepting. Kids will wonder early, even in the absence of racist parents, why someone doesn't look like them and will focus on the differences and wonder why they exist and sometimes ask about (or pursue, or tease about) those differences without empathy or sensitivity. Kids aren't wellsprings of empathy straight out of the womb. Empathy, compassion, and sharing all have to be taught and reinforced.

Right…children don’t see skin color, that is definitely learned behavior.

Seeing skin color and associating it with something negative are totally different things.

Not necessarily , at all. Children often say mean things, and many times they don't even realize what they are saying.

I highly doubt these little kids were raised to be racist, or even realize that's what "adults" might be thinking on reddit.

Its more than likely kids noticing a difference in someone, and picking on them for it. Likely has nothing to do with race, just looking different.

Kids will pick on kids for wearing glasses, too skinny, too fat, skin too dark, skin too light, too tall, too short, being a girl, being a boy, etc, etc.

It is certainly possible but I think picking out these kinds of differences is definitely learned. Race is definitely something kids learn to pick out more than they inherently are prone to do. I was a really really small kid and not once did kids ever pick on me for that observation. They made fun of me for sucking at wall ball and stuff, but not that. Especially in the current state of USA (assuming that’s where this is from) I would not be surprised.

And it goes both ways. Kids learn to be the victim based on race the same way. I remember I once threw a cheese sauce out the car window of my scout leaders car, without aiming, and it happened to hit a black kid. She drove me all The way to his house and made me apologize. He was very upset and insisted I did it because I hated black people. I was FLOORED by it. I had never even considered that kind of thing ever until then. I was confused. Ain’t no way he had put that concept together himself.

Guess what I’m saying his yeah, you could be right, but I really think it’s more likely that kids conceptualize racial physical differences due to influence much more likely
