I'm just skeptical because "anti-racists" like this are rarely ever anything but racist themselves. I've seen this kind of thing before though, people at schools don't just come out and say "okay white kids, you're privileged...feel guilty!". It's about subtly holding their hands and walking them down that path so they wind up there themselves.
But still, I can't be sure, so I'm here for a 2nd opinion.
Why not have your friend ask their kid what they think about it, instead of asking the rest of us who also weren't there?
Also, the discussion hardly seems to be about white privilege, there were only a few questions regarding that. I'm not really sure why you event brought that up in the subject line. Way more of it was based on economic class, which arguably does really matter now that upward mobility is dropping here in the U.S.
Fuck man.... a small child is not going to have the capacity to see this for what it is. A child doesn't get to make their own choices. Parents make the decisions for their children.
