Problems in School:mom bullied by another mom at child's school
2004-09-29
Name: Subha Sreekant



we live in the sf bay area. our lives have been almost peaceful for 9 years in the US. My child recently joined a public school in kdg class. Today i was called indecent names by a very rude black woman. I was taken aback initially because the cause was that i accidently barged in between her and the teacher when they were having a conversation. the reason being my other child, a toddler tried to walk off the gate and i had to get to him so he would not run off to the streets. i also tried apologizing to this lady but she would not budge. she yelled in front of other moms. I was embarrassed. I am scared of black people as such especially the rude ones. How do i react because my child watched what went on and she is asking questions? i am very upset over this.

first of all. We Indians have this \";thing\"; against black people. If we look closely, our skin color is more similar to black people than to white people. I have black friends, they are intelligent and quite nice. As for your problem, next time control your toddler. I am an Indian, living in the US. I have kids too. But what I see is that our kids are more free sprited than the white/black kids. If you are that scared of blacks why dont you move someplace where there are no blacks.

she said she is scared of blacks. we should just try to change her opinion about this. giving a rude answer is only going to create more differences. you have said contrl your toddlers. they are babies, how can we control them. whether they are black or white all babies are angels. they will be running around here and there. we should only protect them from getting hurt and not control them.

Hi Indian Black,
I am sorry that I upset u. I was not trying to generalise about blacks or anybody. I was out of my line about that. Tell me this. what is wrong with kids being free-spirited? They are children and that's how they are. If you want to know, I teach my children to receive differences with an open mind. Anybody in their right mind would give others a chance before yelling at them especially when the other person is apologising. And btw, you do not know what color my skin is so do not generalise about indians being black. I never said that blacks were not intelligent and i am not that stupid. I just said that i was scared. My experiences with them have not been as pleasant as yours. So I don't have this 'thing' against blacks. You are the one with prejudices against indians and indian children. Just because u r living in the US you have no right to tell me to move or stay.
