Kendra, 2: taught to exclaim “n*****”

I was Kendra’s teenaged babysitter. One day, before he left for work, Kendra’s father gleefully showed me the new “trick” he was teaching his daughter. He turned on the TV and waited for a black person to appear on screen. When this happened, he pointed to the person and asked Kendra, “What is that?” to which she replied “N*****!” They both laughed with delight.
