    Yep, agreed, but these are teenagers. I did not have much foresight as a teenager, either.

      Teenagers today do. I guarantee there are thousands of kids in that school who know better and would never do this. Being young doesn’t make you racist

        No, but it does make some less educated. Not everyone is online a lot. Plenty of people just hang out with their friends without learning anything. It’s very possible they haven’t learned why that is so wrong.

      Dumb as I was at that age, I can’t imagine agreeing to do something like that or making friends with anyone who would.

      Right, the point is to let them be themselves & correct behaviors that society has decided are useless. Gotta give them the freedom to choose so that you can correct it, same as younger kids.
