Firstly BIL is 12. He just told me a joke 'what do you call a black person with ginger hair - a crunchy' I really don't like racist jokes at all plus my niece happens to be half nigerian with auburn/ginger hair.
Have no idea what to say about it on one hand i can tell he genuinly didn't mean it in an offensive way and prob heard it at school but on the other hand he needs to know it's not ok to make those jokes especially infront of company it's highly likely to insult. I just pointed out to him that it's offensive to me but didn't make a big deal of it should i just let it go as a one off or explain to him why he shouldn't do it or just let MIL know??
