Racism is learned: he decides to cut his hair as his friend so that the teacher is not able to differentiate them

One of the best things about having children is to discover that they come, as standard, being pure and complete. They are not born hating anyone, they have no prejudices, they are not willing to reject anyone for being the way they are: they are not, for example, racist.

A clear example of this was given by these two children, both adorable, who have starred in one of the funniest anecdotes of recent days, when one of them decided to cut his hair as his friend to play a joke on the teacher: "That way you won't know who is who".

Two great friends

Jax and Reddy are two children, very friends, who have won the hearts of thousands of people with the story that the mother of one of them has shared.

She is Lydia Stith Rosebush, mother of the blond boy, and a few days ago she shared her photos along with the description of the anecdote that I tell you today. As you can see in the following photo, Jax had a little longer hair than Reddy, and was beginning to be pulling "wild", difficult to comb:

Therefore, he said that they would do something with his hair over the weekend. He came up with a joke on his teacher, so he thought it would be a good idea cut your hair too short, to wear it exactly like his friend Reddy, and so he could not differentiate them.

Apparently, it was such an emotion to carry out his incredible plan, that he was most excited waiting for the day when the two could be together in class and the teacher clearly showed his confusion: "I am sure that everyone you can see how much they look like, "said the mother on her Facebook when sharing the photos.

A clear sign that children have no prejudices

And she herself wrote this great reflection: "If this is not proof that hate and prejudice is something you learn, I don't know what it can be. The only difference Jax sees between the two is her hair."

Obviously, and as they say, a single case shows nothing. But it is not difficult to think that if children grow up in an environment rich in cultural diversity, all this will seem normal. And this is the fate of societies: later generations have the opportunity to be more plural, tolerant and respectful, and the logical thing is that they end up being so. Especially if we understand that they are born being that way, and that it is we, the adults, who spoil that (and in our hand it is to avoid it).
