Student in my class told me "wow you climbed that net like a monkey!"

[Archangel]

So I'm subbing a P.E class at this middle school. Predominately white with some blacks and asians sprinkled in. They playing ball and this girl shoots her broke J and the ball gets wedged on the rim. So I jumped up and grabbed the net and pulled myself up and smacked the ball down much to the amazement and praises of the kids who apparently had never seen such a thing done.

This lil white girl was in total amazement and said " wow you climbed that net like a monkey! That was so awesome!"

I told her that was inappropriate to say to a black person because its deemed very racist. She said "omg I didn't know that but why"? I explained to her why and she started laughing like I was joking. She didn't believe that black people actually got offended by that term and had never heard of such a thing.

a middle school cac that was raised by two middle aged cacs in a predominantly cac environment being racist? no way

You're racist for thinking of black people when you hear monkey

If it wasn't maliciously intended



Aside from what you told her, what more can you do?
