Are you kidding, sseamom?
Never have I said a racist comment is OK. Never have I said this kid’s statement was ok. Where in the world do you come up with the query that maybe I think his statement was ok?
It is preposterous of you to think or imply that I think it is ok.
But I have read definitions of bullying, one graciously provided by carolinamom, and as a result I do not consider this bullying. Please try to see the distinction I see between ok and bullying. There is in-between. I urge you to look up the link she provided to read that definition.
Careful readers know throughout this thread, more than once I have stated I thought his statement was wrong and inappropriate. But I also think this one-time insult to her does not rise to the level of being called bullying her. Anytime, anyone, is EVER insulted is NOT the definition of bullying. I have looked up the definition of bullying from multiple sources and found multiple definitions that say bullying is “repeated behavior”. And yes, bullying is also defined as intended to convey a real or perceived threat. I’m not bending the definition of bullying to suit my fancy; I’m going by the definition of multiple sources, including Merriam-Webster.
