Teach him to love diversity(but racism is everywhere)

If Liam is benefitting from this relationship and loves these people think how cruel it would be to stop seeing them. I definately dont agree with your neighbors views but he is entitled to his own opinion. If you dont want your son to hear such things address it with them. I had to with my parents. And if my parents slip and say something racist my kids know that we believe differently and that is just Grammy and Papa! Just because your neighbors have some racist views does not make them all bad! They love your child and seem pretty accepting of your same sex partnership? I wouldnt make an issue of it unless you hear it again and then nicely expain how you feel differently and don't want Liam exposed to comments like that. But lets face it racism is everywhere and you cannot always shield him. Some African Americans descriminate on how dark their skin is. And what about the kid always picked last to be on a team at school. Isnt this just another form of racism/classism?
