@BigAngBlack@BlackMastodon@blackmastodon Adultification - A form of bias where children from minoritised ethnic communities are perceived as being more ‘streetwise’, more ‘grown-up’, less innocent and less
vulnerable than other children.
This particularly affects Black children, who might be viewed primarily as a threat rather than a child needing support.
@sipho This is also a common occurence in Germany. With Black children, but also with Szinti and Roma children, children with Turkish roots and generally BIPoC children. @BigAngBlack@BlackMastodon@blackmastodon
@BigAngBlack Why am I not surprised both are Black? No way an 8 year old whitey would ever be taken as anything else than a child!
Pretty early to have "The Talk" with the poor boy. @BlackMastodon@blackmastodon
