Cleaning the car (which is to be sold today) with my young son when suddenly 4 kids turn up, in full JD Sports wardrobe and when I go inside for a second my son is racially abused by them, who can't be any older than 13 ("Excuse me have you got any curry"). My son goes inside and tells me, when I come out the chavs have crossed the road and ask ME the same line. I respond "Are you stupid?". The chavette responds "yeah" so I say "come and say that to my face" and at that point they leg it. Im f

Unfortunately an all too common scenario nowadays. I regularly have to drive kids who attend a school for children excluded from mainstream education. They, for the most part anyway, have little respect for anyone or anything. I spoke to one about his repeated use of the N word and it was like talking to a brick wall. He steadfastly refused to accept it was offensive and illegal. I then informed the school about his behaviour and all that happened was he was allocated another driver. The lack of discipline is a joke and the children constantly swear at the teachers. I have to hope that these kids are in the minority, or else despair at the lack of respect and good behaviour displayed by these kids. It's sad that such behaviour is learnt and a indicates the lack of parenting they have had in their lives.
The school disciplinary system is a joke. A family friend told of how a child was suspended 6 TIMES for bullying, drugs and still not expelled. Ridiculous.

This is the kind of behaviour that needs to be addressed.
I'm afraid I don't. First time I have seen the wThis is the kind of behaviour that needs to be addressed.
kers.In that case it's the time to teach your kid that uncomfortable lesson that in life you will meet some tossers - but that they will always progress less than the rest of us. Breed sympathy rather than hatred.
Which is annoying for him, he is popular at school, never gets bullied etc. When I say young, he is secondary school age, his school has no trouble with bullying although it is a non selective state school. He told me however he is no stranger to seeing verbal abuse, he witnessed a classmate being called a n*****, "brownie", "currymuncher" and p***. This was promptly dealt with.

Do you know where they live? Police take a very dim view on this now. I know at Greater Manchester Police it'd be a priority.king fuming, what a stty world we live in for a young child to be racially abused and the "kids" have the cheek to talk back. Dr Doofenshmirtz said:

But are those comments coming from 2 teenage girls and a teenage boy? No, those comments come from 40 year old people with families trying to be funny but failing slightly.'You can do mine next'

Scrotes - racism does appear to have become more acceptable.
I was discussing this with friends a few days ago and I commented that I had not heard a truly racist opinion for a good few years, and my sons generation (just left school) seem to be the most integrated of the lot. Aside from the ironic 'comedy' comments (the ones based typically on racial stereotypes and are not in any way offensive to most people) people don't even seem to notice any more and I just see society as way more integrated than it was 20 years ago. To this end, I disagree that racism is more acceptable. Sadly there are people for whom a skin colour is always going to be an issue and this is learned behaviour from parents and peer groups.

My son seems to have got the gist - really pisses me off though, seeing we live in a "nicer" area of Watford, away from the council areas but it still happens. This is in fact the second time he has been targeted.

I can understand why you are pissed off. It might be something you can explain, and something your son will come out of stronger but it's completely unacceptable, and there's nothing that can make it right at this moment in time. He will be the winner compared to these tWhich is annoying for him, he is popular at school, never gets bullied etc. When I say young, he is secondary school age, his school has no trouble with bullying although it is a non selective state school.
