The friend is a really nice girl. It’s my own daughter who concerns me.
Sometimes, especially when she feels comfortable, she steps over the line. She will act loud, brassy, demanding and just sort of obnoxious.
The risk of sending her to another child’s house before she can behave in a pro-social way is that if things go south, she will not be asked back. Based on comments made over the years, I’ve suspected that these two people were racists, but only recently have they overtly – almost proudly – declared it, and now I can no longer step over something I’ve tried to ignore.
Racism is a choice, and a racist person has many opportunities to learn, reflect and change their mind.
