The mother of a seven-year-old boy was told to sign a school form admitting he was racist after he asked another pupil about the colour of his skin.
Elliott Dearlove had asked a five-year-old boy in the playground whether he was ‘brown because he was from Africa’.
His mother, Hayley White, 29, said she received a phone call last month to say her son had been at the centre of a ‘racist incident’.

...‘When I arrived at the school and asked Elliott what had happened, he became extremely upset.
'He kept saying to me, “I was just asking a question. I didn’t mean it to be nasty” and he was extremely distressed by it all.’

Does anyone actually think this kid is racist? Or, is he just a regular, inquisitive (albeit frank and direct) 7 year-old?

Fucking ridiculous. Everyone from the teacher, to administrators should pull their collective head out of their ass and try to empathize with normal questions a seven year old asks. This nanny state bullshit is ruining the world.
 
Normal behavior for a curious young boy. Not even remotely racist and a ridiculous misuse of that term.
 
Kids ask so many frank, direct questions at that age, like: Why is the [NOBABE]sky blue[/NOBABE]? Why is air invisible? Why is he/she so fat? Why is he/she a different color than I am? Why is air invisible? If Heaven is so great, why don't we all just kill ourselves? and on and on etc...

Such an overreaction here.

The black kid could have asked the white kid if his mom and dad were a cracker and a loaf of bread. :bang:
 
Common sense dies another small death at the altar of Political Correctness.:facepalm:
 
Well if he is (I don't think he is) then the mother should change his name to Ray Syst and with any luck his pal at school would be called Ray Perr. What a team they'd make!.
 
One of my friends was with his cousin (who was 4 at the time) and they went to the zoo that day and later, at a Burger King, his 4 year old cousin saw a black family and pointed and said "Monkeys"...

I thought that story was hilarious but they apologized to the family and explained and the father said he understood.

Acknowledging somebody's race/color isn't racist, it's fact. Sounds like the kid is just curious. Maybe he doesn't see many different colored skinned people where he lives/comes from. Kids ask questions, that's how they learn.

People are too sensitive and too fast to claim offense these days.. Just like when white people get all scared to identify somebody as "black." "which guy was it?" they can't just say "the black guy" because they're sooo afraid it will come across as racist. Calling a black guy black is just as racist as calling me a white girl!

exactly, no different than saying it was the tall blonde haired guy, or that mexican chick over there...pulling the racism card is in itself an extremely racist act, especially when there was no offense intended

Why save the world, when you can rule it?
I grew up in Nottingham (few black people).
My mother is a Francophile and so one day, when I was young, she took me to Paris.
There I saw my first black man and I said;

"Mummy, why is that man dirty?"

The guy just laughed.
I say that it's just curiosity, not racism. But what do I know? I'm just a regular Ethnic-Korean Englishman.
