I guess he was going for the "cheeky monkey" thing that some people call their kids. My sister calls her kid a cheeky monkey sometimes, howevrr there's a difference between the parents of a child doing it and some random guy, knowing that one of the parents is mixed race too.

I was always going to listen to black people and I am always hoping to educate myself on social issues. But I do disagree that the intent does not matter. I think it matters a huge deal in how to dissect someone's character. That's not to say the tweet wasn't disgusting. It was.

I think I just don't care about his character. He's probably nice in person.

This is a problem with society then, not one specific person. Our society creates an environment where “nice” people can say and do unintentionally racist things. The lack of education and empathy for issues around race and gender is the culprit here.
-
Educating children about the issues creates a future society where the problems will be significantly less frequent. But imagine telling my gran, at 92, that she can’t make a specific joke any more. Doesn’t mean she’s racist for laughing at it for 92 years.

Can you stop, please.
