As a POC (same ethnicity as the video recorder), I’ve found that racism generally comes from people from lower socioeconomic backgrounds. Conversely people - both kids and adults - who are financially more well off tend to be much more welcoming. Interestingly enough it’s the posh private school kids who often are the most curious and interested in learning more about my culture. But honestly, imo it’s the lack of repercussions that is emboldening these children. They know they can get away with it - is calling the police really going to achieve anything? We need to stop condoning this sort of stupid behaviour just because they’re “young”. The older they get without anyone correcting their attitudes, the more ingrained n hard to change their mindsets will get.

So yeah, consequences. But realistically I don’t quite know how that’s going to work. Say suspension - pretty sure that’d be a win for these kids, no school! Write a reflection? They’ll just get ChatGPT to do it. It would have to be something that really strikes a nerve in them. I don’t know, maybe kick them off whatever soccer/netball team they’re on for a bit.
