Not at all surprised. I’m mixed race as is my husband. We have 3 children and I’ve been shocked at the staggering amount of racism one of my children in particular has experienced when out playing from
both adults and children. I grew up in a predominantly white area in the 80s and 90s and didn’t experience nearly as much racism as my child has had recently. There’s a definite shift so i’m not at all
surprised his sons have experienced this as children are influenced by what their parents say at home. It makes me so sad!

His poor children will not be exempt from racism, because of who their Dad is. Unless I have misunderstood what you mean OP.
