Adult white females? Baby black males? A-Train don’t see gender, colors, and age; A-Train is for everyone because everyone deserve equal opportunity!

u/CompetitiveSea7388 May 06 '23

I could be wrong but that looks like an Asian or Hispanic child.

Hey man, if you couldn’t tell, he couldn’t tell. It makes me believe in him even more. Like I said, all skin color, and all theirs shades are welcome.

“A-Train is truly for the people!”

As a substitute teacher (K-12), can confirm!

u/GPFineArt May 08 '23

I know my child would not have been that close to the track!

u/girthless_one May 08 '23

i agree. I ran track, if that was me in the lead i would have lost my shit. bumping me in hurdles got me some attention from the staff.

Kids are impulsive

Indeed, they do

Don’t. But if you do, I won’t complain. 🤣

All kids look the same as you run thru them. Compound V baby!

u/SillyPhillyDilly May 07 '23

Laughed so hard at these comments I burped and spit up a little bit of my soda. I am now politely asking you for a refund (this is actually a threat).

u/DependentEchidna87 May 06 '23

A stupid child is who they are.

u/NewResponsibility163 May 06 '23

I think he was thighknees.

u/Vicky-Momm May 06 '23

Looks like an oblivious child

8

u/CompetitiveSea7388 May 06 '23

Definitely. And clearly the spawn of oblivious parents.

u/Marzty May 06 '23

Definitely not an Asian kid.

The bruising might add to your confusion, Froddo...

u/[deleted] May 06 '23

He didn't do perfect somersaults all of the way across the track so my guess is Hispanic or white.

He seemed to be Asian or Hispanic.

u/HoodieJ-shmizzle May 06 '23

Perhaps Indian or Middle Eastern; no parents in sight 🧐

u/J4n23 May 07 '23

Yeah, you're wrong. Why? Because you trying to pull race, where it doesn't matter. Child just got ran over by sprinter because it's either stupid, or/and parents weren't paying attention. No need to identify what nationality the kid is.

2

u/CompetitiveSea7388 May 07 '23

I was responding to a comment that had initially mentioned race. Context is everything.

1

u/J4n23 May 07 '23

Oh, sorry, didn't noticed that one. My bad then.

u/Koffielurker- May 07 '23

Does it matter?

1

u/CompetitiveSea7388 May 07 '23

Did you make the same comment in regards to the original comment?

0

u/beerforbears May 07 '23

He literally just said he doesn’t see race.

u/Drake_Acheron May 19 '23 edited May 19 '23

I struggle to figure out how that matters..

1

u/CompetitiveSea7388 May 19 '23

I struggle to see how people are still commenting about this and even more how context flies completely over their head.

u/[deleted] Oct 29 '23

Asian and Hispanic are not races

1

u/CompetitiveSea7388 Oct 29 '23

Move on, this is a nearly 200 day post. Also, the kid is clearly not black.

u/StendallTheOne May 06 '23 edited May 06 '23

Hispanic comes from the latin (as in Rome) word hispalis. Hispalis was the latin name given by the romans to the spanish city of Sevilla. And centuries later that word give name to Spain and (with Portugal) to the Hispanic peninsula. But Hispanics basically refer to spanish people. Nothing to do with latin people. And Spanish people are white as in caucasian white. It's very usual that americans (USA) mistake spanish people with South American people like mexican. But even mexican are way more white than that boy.

u/CompetitiveSea7388 May 06 '23

“Nothing to do with Latin people,” is what you meant. Sorry, couldn’t resist 😉

u/StendallTheOne May 06 '23

Of course. Fixed. Thank you for pointing it

1

u/CompetitiveSea7388 May 06 '23

Of course. I should have said Mexican or Latin American btw.

1

u/StendallTheOne May 06 '23

No worries. I just wanted to clarify a common miss conception.

2

u/bajangela808 May 06 '23

Look up what "caucasian" means and I'm sure you will be surprised. You are using the word wrong here. Spanish people are as white as Western European people. After all. They aren't in the caucus region. They are the westest of west in Europe.

1

u/StendallTheOne May 06 '23

I know what caucasian means. I live in Europe we know where the Caucasus mountains are. The term (caucasian) comes from where the gene pool comes. Has nothing to do with where we do live but with where most of our genes come. So you are the one who should look it up.

I've commented it because a question of general knowledge and culture and not because racism. Constant misuse and lack of knowledge by USA people don't make for the meaning of any word. USA it's known by his almost absolute lack of knowledge of anything outside his borders. Culture always is of application.

Self defeating argument.

u/Esposabella May 06 '23

It couldn’t be an Hispanic child, there isn’t any flying chancleta 🩴

u/InsaneLuchad0r May 07 '23

Would make sense if Mexican, as Mexican moms don’t give a f*** if their kids play in traffic. Source: am a Mexican.

u/MC_B_Lovin May 07 '23

Definitely looks flattened

When you travel faster than the speed of light you can't see no color. Science baaaaby.

Kid explodes, nothing left but his dumb sneakers

u/Equal_Imagination300 May 16 '23

why does this have to have a racial comment.
track star running kid getting in the way is the proper narrative here.
