quote:

When sociologist Margaret Hagerman set out to interview middle-schoolers about their ideology and politics in 2017, she asked each child the same series of questions, warming them up with a few softballs — “What’s your neighborhood like?” and “Do people put up a lot of political signs?” — before moving on to “How did you feel after the presidential election?” and, later, “Some people say there’s a lot of racial tension in America right now. What do you think?”

She still remembers the afternoon when she sat across the table from an 11-year-old girl named Cammie. (All the subjects’ names in Hagerman’s research are pseudonyms.) The two could hear basketballs bouncing on a nearby court as Cammie answered the racial-tension question by critiquing the Black Lives Matter movement for picking on police officers who are just trying to help “us.” Cammie, who is white, told Hagerman she celebrated with her parents the morning after Trump’s election. “I am happy because Trump will look out for people like us,” she said. It was the second time the girl used that word — us.

“I mean, the assumption is whiteness,” Hagerman says.

...

Cammie turned out to be just one of many in that last cohort who were unbothered by Trump’s overtly racist statements.

“Trump is racist, but I don’t really care,” she told Hagerman. Simon, a 13-year-old in Massachusetts, said he thought Trump seemed racist sometimes but “that was not a good enough reason to dislike him.” Of racial tension in America, Grace, 12, said, “I honestly think it’s fine. I don’t really care.” In Massachusetts, Nathaniel, 11, said, “Yeah, I don’t pay attention to that stuff … Racism doesn’t, like, really like, affect me. I don’t like to think about it.” Though each child was interviewed alone, common refrains emerged. “Listening to kids express dehumanizing racist ideas and think they’re normal really concern me,” says Hagerman.

...


Hagerman’s interviews with children of color suggested many had noticed the shift in their white peers’ attitudes since Trump took office. Dominick, an 11-year-old in Massachusetts, told Hagerman that a girl in gym class said, “You’re a slave ’cause you’re Black.” And Devion, also 11 and Black, said white students at his school had called him the N-word and shouted “Build the wall!” Mariana, a 10-year-old with an undocumented parent, said of Trump, “He’s trying to kick us out.” That us again but this time connoting a shared victimization. Multiple Black children also experienced the rejection inherent in Trump’s rhetoric as deportation anxiety, telling Hagerman they worried he would send them to Africa.

Some white kids noted an uptick in their peers’ racist behavior too, but typically not those who attended predominantly white schools. Those kids “were just carrying on … completely not even worried about that,” Hagerman says. Kids chanted “Build the wall” at Katie’s middle school in Mississippi, an event she called “funny.” And on a school playground, white kids played a game in which some pretended to be ICE officers chasing down peers who posed as immigrants trying to cross the border. Another set of white kids chanted, “Trump! Trump! Trump!” as they pretended to construct a wall at recess. When Hagerman asked pro-Trump white kids about racism, many of them laughed.

...

Many of her students were middle-schoolers during Trump’s presidency, just like Hagerman’s study subjects. They’ll be eligible to vote in their first presidential election in November.

when I was 8 and we moved from New Jersey to Texas (no wait, 7) I was very surprised at all the n-word stuff I heard. Then again I don't remember a single non-white kid in the elementary school I was in back in New Jersey. I could be wrong, but I don't think so. (Hillview Elementary in Pompton Plains NJ if you want to add to your spreadsheet about me)

Lived in Massachusetts my whole life.

The most racist/sexist liberal state in the country for sure.

Growing up around the North End was like ...

I have literally heard things like "Yeah, he might be a n****, but he's OUR N****" and poo poo like that.

The amount of cognitive dissonance and hypocrisy I grew up with is NUTS.

"I'm not racist, but why are you listening to these no-talent animal jungle music guys, they aren't musicians, they kill each other in the street" - my father, driving me to school at like 8 years old while I'm listening to RUN-DMC....
