youre right, i dont want any of my children to hear things like that.. but i believe it would be much more painful for a child who is also the same race as the person in the joke. a racist joke is WRONG.... period.... and i wont intentionally allow anyone to say something racist around my kids.
however we arent going to keep our children from our families. we're very close to both sides and i can honestly say that this is literally the ONLY thing that disturbs us about them. i really dont think either side would ever make jokes in front of a child... ive never seen them do it before.... but kids can sense things... they can sense when there's any tension... and i simply dont ever want my child to feel like grandpa and mommy dont get along.
