Has your child or a friend's child ever been treated badly in a public place because he or she looked different from the majority?

I had family here for the past 3 days and loved it. My daughter in law is Chinese so, my grandson is Eurasian. They wanted to go ice skating but she prefered to take him to a skating ring in Ithaca, a multi cultural area where there are all types of people, rather than my small town where he would stand out and might get teased. We did that, but I was surprised that she was concerned that an incident like that could happen. Has it ever happened to your child or a friends child? I was part of a minority as a child, but I could “pass”.
