I dont stand for it and I especially dont stand for it when things are said around my child! As you know, they are sponges and no way no how do I want her thinking that saying anything racist is ok. My stance on it, especially with family (dont fall into the friend catergory) is that if I make comment telling them it is not ok that eventually they will realise that everytime they say something so ridiculous I will be there to stop it and hopefully the will eventually think 'hey, cant be bothered going there'

We live in a small town with limited multiculturalism, its growing but still limited. So its been very difficult to explain to DD about differences in people. We were able to find a really lovely simple book though so that colour/ race/ religion can be talked about easily and on a daily basis
