Is AUTHOR wrong in the post ? POST : I got onto quite a packed train, but not too packed in that seating space is tight but there's plenty of standing room. 

I sit next to a kid with his father who are about 8/9 years old and 40 respectively. Then the kid starts saying stuff like "I don't want to sit next to you, and asks his dad to move." The dad refuses and the kid goes on "I don't like black people, they're scary... they're bad people etc". The kid starts arguing with his dad and muffles in a "but you" as his dad shuts him up.

Not that this matters but, I'm actually quite good looking, slim and dressed in casual business wear. So there really wasn't anything I could have done to actually scare this kid. 

Anyways, I give this kid a death stare and he starts to shit himself. As I'm about to speak to him, I give up and turn to his father. Then I start to berate him and what he's teaching his child. In effect, I called him a bad parent and a racist along with some other choice words. Father explodes and starts yelling "how dare I speak to him like that?", calls me "unemployed waste of space" and other defensive remarks. Things start to heat up, kid starts to cry, and then I walk away. 

I asked my siblings about it and she said it might not be the dad's fault. Her kids, although younger, built their own perception and were pretty afraid of the darker members of our extended family they didn't see as much. It was only until they went to school and made friends that it all went away. 

So now, I'm not sure if IATA for calling out the dad and berating him in front of his kid.

IATA?
