And while I agree that behaviors like the ones I name in the post are exhibited universally, I still believe that they are the inventions of people who are not marginalized along the identifier in question. It's hard to imagine pre-Columbus Native children saying "let's play... ourselves! But a sick, distorted version of ourselves!" There's a dominance merely in the fact that these sorts of games exist. That's the larger point, and I should have written that paragraph as such.Allie Jane Brucehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10322238221808680397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9160636034192691079.post-67446986553364798142016-02-13T20:12:20.048-05:002016-02-13T20:12:20.048-05:00Yes, I see all kids participating in racist mockin...Yes, I see all kids participating in racist mocking, sadly.

From my own experience (and if there has been research done on this, forgive me), I have witnessed this unfortunate behavior universally. It doesn't seem to be limited to those who are non-marginalized.Jamalia Higginshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02212141126605348516noreply@blogger.com
