“I’m very doubtful that you would say to your child,….”
Attitudes run deep. I’m a realist, and I know how I feel. In this theoretical exercise I can very well imagine myself saying exactly what you doubt I would. Lets take black and white out of the equation and substitute other cultural differences, say a Bucharian boy and Chassidishe girl. Would you say parents have no right to be concerned and more importantly express that concern to their child, even in strong language? would you classify it as racist?
