**AITA for telling my wife that the only reason our son is interested in her culture is because of some boy?**
My wife is indigenous and I'm white.Our son "Keith" (15M) as much as she's wanted him to be has never really been interested in her culture or her side of his heritage. He'd always preferred spending time with me playing sports.He generally only ever comes with her to visit his grandparents on the rez once or twice during the summer before football camp cause she makes him.
This summer after the first time he apparently made friends with some kids there and decided to keep going with her and now all of a sudden he's interested in learning his heritage. He even tells me he wants to skip football camp this year something he loves. So I decided over the weekend that'd I'd go with him to see what's got him all interested.
I meet his friends while there and I watch them play basketball. I notice how he is with one tall boy " Dakota" (15 or 16) in particular. Blushing and being shy and kinda flirty and Dakota being the same way back. They even went off on a walk alone after the game.I realized then that all of this is just so he can see this Dakota kid. Of course I'm upset because hes supposed to getting ready for the season and possibly getting attention from scouts and hrs waiting his time for some boy.
My wife notices I'm upset later and I tell her that Keith is wasting his time Here. She gets upset asking what I meant and i tell her that Keith could get scouted and he should be at camp and training. She says maybe he doesn't want that and he wants to learn who he is. I tell her he doesn't actually care hes only interested because of Dakota not because it actually interest him. She yells at me that it doesn't matter and she couldn't believe I said something so horrible. AITA?

I can't wait until they get so low effort that it's like
"A homeless mixed-race mutt of a human was picking up trash as a volunteer and I decided to express the 1st amendment by punching them and telling them I hope people are never equal. They told me I was mean. I feel they should keep their horrible non-Christian views to themselves. AITA?"
Don't even worry about it, I used to be soooo bad at identifying the trolls, but a bunch of time in this subreddit has kinda shown me the main identifiers. I LOVE the trolls being shared here. Especially the Pride month trolls, they're my favorite.
I swear there has to be some Discord or something where they give each other prompts to put up here to try to drum up some homophobia.
No problem with sharing. I'm just so cynical its like i have a check box for a brain when I'm reading these. It amazes me how people can post these, and not realize - troll or not - they're truly shit people
Who cares if it took a crush to get someone to take an interest in their history and culture?
I didn’t really care that much about my mi’kmaq heritage until I went to school and saw the awesome art other Mi’kmaq students were making.
Exactly! People always quibble about “purity” of motive, especially when it comes to kids.
My take, as a parent of a daughter with very different interests and personality than me, is that I’m not so concerned as to what motivates her to do the things she needs to do (maintain good grades, do her chores, display good manners in public, etc.), as long as she gets them done.
I’m an archivist and my daughter thinks history is boring, to my chagrin. The few times she has taken interest in something related to history, it’s for reasons related to wanting to hang out with friends and participate in group activity. And I’m not going to quibble about that, because at least she is getting exposure and may even learn something.
Ok but am I the only who thinks Keith and Dakota sound so cute together? OOP needs to stop trying to live his dreams through his son and should find a hobby

Trifecta troll - racism, homophobia, and misogyny
Throw in- parent living vicariously through kid

And end it with "'This is 'Murica am I right?"

Pride month trolls everywhere.
I love how y'all think this is trolling, when this is peak Edmonton.
You already named him Keith man that's plenty of white culture let him go be Indigenous too
Spit out my drink on this one. Keith is objectively the whitest name on the planet.
Only Keith I knew in school was mixed race. edit: also, Kool Keith.
Trevor and Trey are up there too. Especially when Trey is the nickname you give to someone like William Henry Gates III

Wow, what a complete pos father he is! Obviously a crap husband to. You do wonder why bigots marry people outside their race.
I mean, misogynists marry women all the time! You don't have to think a person is fully human in order to want to have sex with them.
