It honestly reads like a parody. Racists can be pretty dumb huh?
To be honest, America is pretty much a parody of itself these days.

I had a friend claim dogs hate black people because they're scared of people with black skin and bark incessantly at them. They were trying to prove that racism is inherent.
I'm hoping that he was just trying to troll me (my friends know I'm the only person who cares about stuff like that), but I still was like wtf.
(context: he had said the whole "dogs don't like black people," I had responded, and as part of my response told him that black people own dogs so I was pretty sure dogs, in fact, are not racist and do not have a problem with black people.)
Sadly, he's not the first person I've heard this stuff from.
So yeah hopefully he was just being a devil's advocate and attempting to troll me because he thought he was in a safe space to do it.
I think it's possible some people live in a bubble and don't think about the harmful effects of what they are saying when it doesn't affect them. My friend was, I think, trying to get a reaction out of me and that was their only concern. They don't care about hypothetical black people because they don't know any.
I think lots of people have this same attitude- they don't care about things that don't personally affect them. Internet trolling has turned into real life trolling, which makes shitty people like the people who wrote the letter think it's okay to do so because others are doing it. Except other people were just trolling for reactions and would be horrified if they saw this kind of letter writing. But those other people don't realize what they've normalized.
I wish I knew what the solution was but I honestly have no clue what we can do, as individuals, to rectify this.
instead of posting the letter on the internet, they should have tossed it in the garbage and ignore the entire ordeal.

Is this seriously what you would do if you were a business owner and one of your own employees was targeted like this? Are you a terrible boss or just a terrible human being?
kids is scared of her.
Most people choose the path of least resistance even if it causes problems for everyone around them.
It's frustrating, but that's humanity for you.
In this case the business owner responded the right way. Notify police, notify the public via social media including parents who send their kids to the day care, notify all employees and take protective measures, and notify and support the employee who was the target of this letter.
And what if the letters start appearing at the poor woman's home? As that is what is next. This is one or two racist arseholes, that just ruined the whole daycares' atmosphere just to get what they wanted. Thus poor woman and her coworkers simply won't feel comfortable around these parents again. They don't know who wrote it, so it becomes a really nasty atmosphere that this parent or parents created.instead of posting the letter on the internet, they should have tossed it in the garbage and ignore the entire ordeal.
