It was book day today & DD dressed as a little girl from Ghana (she is mixed race Jamaican/UKwhite)
I was talking to a school friend about all the lovely costumes and complimented his - I asked if he liked DD's costume and he said "I don't really like Indian people"
I said "That's not very nice ...and anyway she was dressed in an African dress" and stormed off
How should I have handled it/what should I have said?
I feel a bit stupid really as he was only 9 and I had a go at him
