How do you argue bad the small town mentality surrounded by children? (repost)?
Okay, this is complicated to explain. I live in a small town, predominantly white, with only a few lifelong minorities. Well, over the ultimate few years, we have minorities moving in, they all move to duplicate "area" in town. No disrespect, but that section of town/towns seriously is nasty to drive through. Like debris everywhere, broken furniture laying around, etc. So, not being "exposed" to minorities, then the ones who do move within, are not a diversity of social classes. I mean literally, there was a gang quarrel, bloods and crypts in the next town over, with a population of 6,000 society. How do you teach your child NOT to stereotype or judge minorities, when they are not exposed to minorites of ALL social classes. Does that makes sense? I know that probably sounds horrible, but I don't know how else to word it.
Probably would enjoy been better in a different section, but I post here most frequently
Don't worry going on for it.
The only time kids learn to stereotype and judge is when they see it person done.
You know it's not the color your skin is NOR the neighbourhood you live in that defines you ... so only just teach by example.
Explain it to your little ones. Let them know that a moment ago because the minorities that live in your town are kind of bad, not adjectives of minorities are like that. Take them into a big city and show them around, let them meet successful empire of other races. That's really all I could think of. I don't really own that problem where I live, there is a mixture of all race in different social classes. Hope this helps. Source(s): Me
I know exactly what you're trying to say. It's a tough one. I think perchance just say nothing, consent to them make their own friends at school and see whether they naturally segregate or not. As a child I go to a local school in a pretty upmarket nouns, but some children (white - there were no ethnic minorities) from the council estate attended this school also. I notice at quite a young age that nearly all the children from the council estate have special needs teaching and learning difficulties compared to none of the middle class children. Sometimes you can't deny things. If your children discern then explain to them that they aren't representative of all ethnic minorities. They will understand that.
I think that you should just bring the time to explain to them different cultures and races. I know you don't like Obama, but he'd be a good example :) I know you read profoundly to them too, try finding books (or movies or whatever) that have minorities as the main characters. the nice thing I know roughly teaching in elementary school is that they REALLY are pushing teacher to incorporate all sorts of cultures into their curriculum, so hopefully your school district is like that. you can never start too untimely though -- just do it slowly and subtly and they'll understand. kids aren't born understanding stereotypes, but inopportunely some people perpetuate them. if the first encounters beside other races and cultures are good ones, then they won't associate the 'bad' module of town with minorities, hopefully.
Thats a tough one. I come from a minority who have class and its hard for me myself NOT to stereotype other minorities. But also, my whole way of thinking did a complete 180 on me when we moved to a state that be only 2% minority and the roles were reversed. Now all the individuals who are doing all the killing, drug selling, and yes white bloods..lol etc.. are white folk. I come from California (the valley) and I've never ever been exposed to poor whites. I've never be afraid of being robbed or mugged until I moved here.lol Maybe I cant answer your question but I thought I'd comment because as an adult its complex for me not to stereotype not only minorities but now, all poor inhabitants in general. I'm workin on it, I just manufacture sure not to make comments around my kids.

I grew up in a town of less than 3000 it was adjectives white... I actually didn't see a black person in legitimate life until I was in nearly the 4th grade and the same problem as you are having when I did see minorities they be low class, trashy, and caused trouble... So I of course did judge and assumed everyone of that see was like that... I would though try to show them (either online or take a bit trip to other areas where minorities are all social classes) that they aren't all similar to that, which is hard to do.. and i would def say its better sooner than later or they will hold a hard time getting rid of the judgment they made (and honestly I still struggle with it!)
Answers: Just engineer sure your children occasionally hear you discussing positive things people of color have done. If there's a Hispanic doctor on tv, mention "That doctor on tv is named so-and-so" and "Obama is partially black and half white, his dad is from Nigeria and his mom is from Kansas" and "we celebrate Christmas, but Jewish people paint the town red Hanukkah. Do you know what that is?" And so on and so forth. Your kids won't really be interested now, but pointing out positive people over the years will unequivocal their eyes to the achievements that all cultures have made. Be sure to examine tv programs about the history of our world too - anything dealing with slavery in adjectives times and places, genocide, American Indians, etc. You'll want to do that anyway to educate your child about the world.
If your children ever say anything racist, do deed as if it's horrifying to say that even if there's some truth to it. They need to know that it's not appropriate to say these things. And when your kids win older, point out to them that even people of different races stereotype their own see. Many people think all blacks or adjectives hispanics are bums because that's all they've ever seen. But many blacks also suppose other blacks are bums because that's all *they've* ever seen as well.
Good luck to you. Source(s): Bi-racial girl raise in a small town - now a world traveler and raising a tri-racial son.
I met my first person of a different race when I be 6 years old
He was subsituting for my Sunday school professor in church
Never having seen someone of a different see before, I became scared
I in truth ran screaming and crying from the room
and spent the duration of church that Sunday sitting in with my Grandmother for her women of the church service
After church my grandmother invited the subsitute trainer to her house for lunch,
on the ride home she explained to me that God made people off all colors, a moment ago like flowers
And that just because someone was different, didn't have it in mind I should be scared
When our lunch guest first came over I was apprehensive, but after an hour or so of chit-chat I relaxed and previously you know it I was showing him my pet bunny-rabbit, Mr. FloppyEars
My parents were quite racist
though I didn't realize that until I be almost 12 years old
And thankfully, I've taken after my grandparents, and do not judge by see
Though race is an uncomfortable subject for me...I'm so scared of mortal ignorant like my parents that I just can't screech at racists jokes the way adjectives my friends do
