When kids correts adults

[Luxplus]

I went to legoland with my 2 dds and my dh. Dh is from Indonesia so our kids have a bit of darker skin and looks a bit Asian.
Dd1 wears glasses.
We were sitting in the observation tower going up, dd1 next to me, then dd2 and dh. The family next to us had a dd who asked her parents why dd1 had glasses. Her mom explained and then the dad piped in with "all gook eyed uses glasses" i was sooo furious but tried for dd1s one fault to find a way of telling him off withoug her noticing but to my surprise she literally turned around to him and said very factual "its called an Asian, saying gook eyed is mean and makes others sad"... I was so proud of her... And luckily the mom told him off later when we came out again. I could hear her when we walked past them..
But I'm super proud of my dd1 eventhough I'm sad that adults actually think its acceptable to say...

Disgusting. I live in a university town with all nationalities of people and I’d be ashamed if I heard anyone speak like that. It would be good to think that kind of thing is dying out but I have Asian friends who tell me it’s not.

I assumed you were in Australia. Well done your DD... Bet he felt a right fool in front oglf his family.

I googled, 'Gook', and it is a derogatory term for people who are Asian. Not a word with which I am familiar I'm glad to say.

Used a lot during Korean and Vietnam wars, then carried back to the US.

I don't like being corrected by children much but in this case your DD was spot on. Shame she had to listen to that in the first place.
