Anybody ever have a racist teacher?

I’ve had teachers that I know for a fact were racist. From elementary school all the way to high school. I’m still bitter over this.

Yes, but they probably wouldn't have recognised it then or now. This was back in the 1990s and teachers regularly made fun of the names of the Hong Kong and Nepalese girls (I was in a school for military families).

@SunshineGirl Jesus Christ that’s so insensitive. I grew up in the 2000s in Texas and I encountered a lot of that type of thing too.

@Avocadorable I am embarrassed and ashamed because I probably laughed along as well so not to seem the odd one out. I hate to think how some individuals must have felt 😞 I'm sure it was never meant maliciously, but it was a very different world back then.

@SunshineGirl you’re right it really was a different world. I remember saying some things about my own people when I was younger that make me cringe now. Thankfully I think we’re slowly finding a new level of awareness.
