went to the loo in the cinema and there were two kids mucking about in there. one was white, one was black, and they both looked super young - like 4 or 5. what kinda surprised me is that i could overhear both of them using 'fuck' and 'fucking' in their conversation - odd for kids that young, but whatever i guess - but then there was the clincher: during a bit of a playful tussle, the white kid called the black kid the n-word. they were obviously pals and they went running out of the toilets together - but good lord, that shit caught me off guard, especially because of their age. clearly neither of them really knew what it meant (or at least i assume so) - and i can only hope the white kid wasn't calling him that because he was his black friend and therefore associates the word with dark skin - but where tf does a 5 year old white kid even pick that word up? i'd hope that if this kid was using it freely with everyone, his parents (unless that was who the kid had learnt it from) or teachers would have nipped it in the bud already. i didn't hear the black kid use the word during this either.
i'm not sure where they will have got it from, especially at that age - it's not like rap songs played on mainstream radio/channels are gonna be dropping n-bombs, and it doesn't seem like the kind of age where a discussion about the word will have been had (especially considering that he was freely swearing anyway). complete conjecture, but perhaps the word was picked up from hearing a 'heated gamer moment' from a YouTuber/Streamer? they do appeal to very young kids often.
but i dunno, this shit surprised me and it felt kinda surreal - i'd more likely expect to hear it from a young teen trying to be edgy - not a nursery aged kid. this definitely ain't normal right??
(this was in the UK btw)
