Is it normal: racism
Okay I have this friend he's a black guy and we partnered up to work on this project so he came over to my house so we could work on this project for school. Well my parents come in the door and they are shocked and I don't understand why because I told them I was having someone over to work on a project.
When he left they asked me why I didn't tell them. And I told them that I did say I was having someone over. And my mom said something that totally made me lose my respect for my parent she said 'Well why didn't you tell me he was black'. I was completly shocked that my parents would feel that way. I never noticed before then but they never had any black friends, and I hadn't either until him (I didn't know a lot of black people when I was younger, but when I got into high school I saw a lot more).
My parents told me that I wasn't aloud to do this project with him and I was no longer to hang out with him. And that I had to find someone else to do the project with.
I didn't listen to them I still hang out with him to this day (infact we are dating). And I did that project with him.
I still resent my parent for it and forever will. I just can't believe a parent in todays day would be so rasict so openly!
Is this norma? And has it ever happened to you?
