Although I would agree that it’s important to impart your kids with a strong sense of self, it is impossible for them not to hurt over the criticisms others openly voice about them. Yes, the participants on American Idol sign-on to be judged on whether they have talent, but I don’t see how their being overweight, flamboyant, poor, etc. have any bearing on judging. I’m not saying that some folks won’t be cruel – yes, even to kids. What I am suggesting is that your opinion is just that – YOUR OPINION. You should not be encouraged to impose your opinion on others and by doing so humiliate them in front of others. You might not think this is a BIG issue, but those of you with children can put it in perspective as your child being tormented by his peers, teachers and neighboring adults and finding that your advice to them is, “Suck it up. Everyone is entitled to tell you about yourself. Get over it.” I believe we need to let people know that differences in size, personality, orientation, etc. are celebrated not degraded.
Conversely, I’m all grown up and am well equipped to handle any/all criticism made to me or about me. Those of you with children should probably be more concerned that folks learn what acceptable and unacceptable comments are. Simon’s behavior is precisely what leads to bullying in schools and verbal and physical assaults by children who are taught that attacking those we see as weaker or different is okay.
Personally, I think Caspar is Rican and carries a Big Blade. I aint F&#@'en with her. My mother is Rican and she's crazy but, I love her to death.
