I may be going crazy, but it's almost as if the kid was trying to understand what the word "Negro" means, as it relates to the proper name of a scholarship.
Maybe I should dial it back. I don't remember any subjects coming up that just left my mouth agape when I was nine years old.
Maybe my parents just took more time at home? You have an Asian SN so I'm assuming education was a priority in your home as well. Probably not driving, though.

Not sure what this means, but the word in question is almost never used in modern day, even by racists. The kid is in a school and is asking a question about a word that is important to American history. He may very well not know the distinction, and it's pretty silly to look at that as a slight on his dad.

Leaving this one alone.

I am envious of your inability to be racist.
