Today, while at a restaurant, my three year old daughter pointed at an African-American girl and yelled out “She’s ugly because she’s black!” Me and my wife got dirty looks for the entire rest of our meal. We have no idea where she learned that. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I got a phone call from my daughter’s school. Turns out, an African-American girl approached her and tried to play with her, but my daughter cut her off and said, "I don’t want to play with a black person." I have no idea where she learned this. FML
Today, while at a restaurant, my 4 year-old son pointed at a lady and exclaimed, “Mom, her butt is even bigger than yours!” FML
Today, I ate at a friend's house. Her 5-year-old son, who was at the table with us, looked at me and said quietly, "You're ugly." My friend told him off, causing him to cry, and shout, "But she isn't pretty!" FML
Today, I was eating at a restaurant in town, when a small boy started looking at me. I simply smiled and went back to eating, only to hear out of the corner of my ear, "Daddy, why does that kid's face look like that"? He said it so loud, the three tables next to us turned and looked. FML
Today, I was at a restaurant when I heard a young girl telling her father she didn't think she was pretty. When I got up to leave, I walked past her table and told her she was beautiful. Her dad then punched me in the face. FML
Today, I overheard my 5 year old daughter call a girl in her dance class a slut. Shocked, I asked her where she heard that word. Her response: "I heard you and Daddy say it about her Mommy." FML
Today, I think my daughter is the only person in the world who was born racist. The other day she said to me, “Girls with dark skin can’t be pretty.” FML
Today, I went out to eat at a restaurant. When the waitress saw me, she continously told me how beautiful and kind I was. Flattered, I just said thank you. Five minutes later, one of the ugliest girls I've ever seen in my life walked in. The waitress told her the same exact things she told me. FML
Today, the 6 year old girl I was babysitting asked me, "Why are you so ugly? Are you an alien? Because aliens are about as ugly as you are." FML
Today, my 2-year-old daughter overheard my wife and I arguing and fixated on one particular insult my wife threw at me. Now my daughter won't stop saying "Daddy a numbnuts", always with a big smile on her face. FML

I hope you made a big show of correcting her and teaching her differently.

Does she go to Daycare? Who babysits her the most? Outside of you and your wife, who does your daughter get the most interaction with? If you ever figure it out, you definitely need to to cut them out of your lives, you don't need some racist teaching her how to become one as well.

Well, i should have thought the solution to your public embarrassment was very easy. In your place i would have taken my little girl to their table, I would have explained just that and offered deep and sincere apologies, and told my child why I was doing that all the way. She would have understood, and she would have remembered. Most importantly, the other girl whose own feelings were so badly hurt would have had a chance to show forgiveness and feel good about it. It would have been the brave and kind gesture. Feeling sorry and embarrassed about a racist remark is just NOT good enough.

Sometimes kids just blurt out random stuff But this sounds oddly specific Scold her and correct her

at such a young age, dont scold them. just make sure to teach them that saying things like that Is impolite and hurts people's feelings. then teach them why, and build on that. being angry that a child said something bad, without knowing why is pointless. they could be mindlessly repeating what they heard, or made a weird connection and said it in a bad way. teach them better and they will HOPEFULLY be better people later in life...

You have some relative or friend who is an asshole, clearly.

Either one of you is fibbing or you need to have a serious talk with your babysitter.

i doubt its an adult teacher or daycare worker. it could be the other kids at school/daycare that are exposed to racist environments and bring it with them to school. Hope you disciplined and told her that was wrong.
