So when I was in fifth grade, my brother and I once called some other kids snitches for tattling over something. So these kids told the teacher and in response, the two of us were sent to the principal's office. While there, I noticed another kid, who was white, was there for hitting another kid. Here, the principal just lightly talked to them and told them that it was bad to hit and let them go for recess. My brother and I, who are black, on the other hand, were pulled into the vice principals office who made us stay in for recess for the next day and even called our parents over this. Back then, I didn't think much of it but as I grew older and read how black students are punished more harshly, it's got me wondering, could racism have played a role in this as I feel like its too much to do this to two kids who just called people snitches
