Mixed-Race Dad Takes His Son Grocery Shopping, A Stranger Suddenly Steps In Thinking They’re The Hero

Racism is alive and well. No matter how far we’ve come, that’s the sad reality. But often, people will never openly admit to being racist. It shows up in their unconscious bias, and the way they treat or view those with a different skin tone.

Major drama broke out at a grocery store when a woman grabbed a kid and ran off. She claimed to be the 4-year-old’s grandmother who was saving him from being kidnapped by a ‘Mexican’ man. That man turned out to be the boy’s stepfather but try as he might to convince her, the woman refused to believe it. Other shoppers backed her up, the store manager tried to intervene and things reached boiling point when the police were called.

He’s mixed race, his stepson is white but this has never really been an issue until now
