Have any of you experienced passive aggressive bullying, jealousy of your kid or racism on your team

Pretty sure here in Southern California we have some of the most diverse ethnicity of anywhere in the United States.
True, but it is also very segregated due to the documented illegal collusion between realtors and banks such that minorities could not see or get loans for houses in certain neighborhoods that lasted into the early 1970's or possibly later.
 
No, they learn it at school. When my DD was 10 or 11y/o during our drive home from school she asked me what the words "wetback" and "dike" meant. I asked her where she heard that and she said some girls were calling my DD friend those names. We had a discussion about racist and sexist comments and how some people were just ignorant and felt the need to put others down just because of their race, gender, or how they looked. That was an early lesson that she has carried into adulthood and will not allow racist or sexist people into her life. She had a recent boyfriend that she dumped after he told her after a month of dating that he thought women were not mentally strong enough to be in the military and all gays should be kicked out of the military.

But these kids learned it from their parents... or older siblings that learned it from their parents. These parents are not having the same talks you are having or had with your daughter. It's incredibly sad and scary that these attitudes still exist. My daughter is bi-racial and she is incredibly proud of being black.

As she should be. So she isn't proud of her other half?

We ran across my grandparents original land use permit from Los Angeles County issued in 1936. One portion said something along the lines of, "This land use permit will be revoked if the land is used to house or sold to a person of Negro or Hispanic ancestry." There were other similar racist stipulations including one that said the land could be used by Jews for housing only and may not be used to run any business out of or on. We were all in shock and my 16y/o nephew broke the silence with his statement, "I thought that shit only happened in the South."

I was talking with my neighbor who was a high school history teacher in the 60's. He said participated in an undercover investigation where a white couple would ask about a house and get a loan approved. When a black couple asked about the same house, they were denied. He said this happened dozens of times all over San Diego.

That is just sad.
 
Just wanted to see the overall consensus on this topic? is it normal? part of soccer world? passive aggressive parent bullying? racism? jealousy? to be expected on any team?
my daughter has she has really really fair skin and red hair....has only heard racist comment from the latinos not asian or black players

Years ago the latina and brunette players on DD's team objected when a player on the other team said "Come on! We can beat these blondies!" Her team had a good laugh about it after the game.

My sons played together on a team one summer mostly made up of local Asians and Latinos. After we beat a completely-Hispanic team from Riverside marked by a lot of referee involvement (verbal warnings, formal cautions, one of their players ejected after a hard foul on our keeper), one of their mothers while walking by the post-game team meeting complained about our "whitebread" team. Our coach that day (a German immigrant) looked over the team gathered around him and responded "I think I am the only whitebread here".
