    Shouldn’t have to be taught to treat others with respect or how you would treat yourself

    No disrespect, but I disagree. Respect is absolutely a learned behavior.

    what ever respectful means is a defined by your culture. What is considered respectful is different in the uk versus the us, at least that’s what thought this post was about.

    Kids absolutely need to be taught this. Kids don’t magically share, or treat each other with respect. You teach kids how to be respectful everyday.

      Umm that’s racism…. You’re describing what it means to be racist. If you need to be taught that only certain things/people/races/religion/colour are to be respected… that’s why people think black people don’t have livers.

      You are the issue mate, full disrespect. You are racist. If you choose be respectful to someone only to blend into those around you… you don’t deserve any respect.

      You need to be taught to treat others the way you would yourself?

      Or are you teaching your kids who and what to respect? Because you’re doing the latter, not the former and are perpetuating these issues.

      This has nothing to do with culture at large, that’s justifications for rasicm, and that’s what you’re teaching your kids. The exact issue that’s trying to be pointed out.
