IShowSpeed gets called a racial slur during an IRL livestream, goes to talk to child's mother

sportskeeda.com:

A recent IShowSpeed stream could have taken a very unfortunate turn, but the YouTuber turned it into excellent content. While conducting an IRL stream, a young boy came up to IShowSpeed and used a racial epithet on him. Instead of yelling at the kid, he went to talk to the child’s mother.

He could have ruined the kid’s entire evening by revealing what the boy said to Speed, but the YouTuber’s decision turned out to be a much more entertaining one and hopefully taught them a valuable life lesson in not saying such things to people.

Early into Speed’s IRL stream, he was taking a photo with a fan, when a child out of the shot called him a “Monkey.” Calling an African American a monkey is a particularly crude racial slur, one that dates back at least as far as the 1800s.

The kid would repeatedly refer to the streamer as “Speed,” acknowledging that he knew who the streamer was. The young boy who referred to him by that term was also smiling as he walked with him to try and find his mother.

The YouTuber found the child’s mom pretty quickly, and walked up to her, seemingly ready to rat the kid out for using the term he did. However, he didn’t tell on the boy, and instead took the high road.

The boy also admitted that he did say that:

IShowSpeed thanked the kid for being a fan and walked off, stating that he just spared the kid's life. At first, Speed didn’t seem sure that he made the right call, but he was happy with how things turned out. He continued his IRL stream and seemed to think little of the moment.

One Redditor loved this, saying it was the same thing as claiming to snitch on a fellow student, but instead asking to use the bathroom, or something similar. Others agreed, thinking it was done excellently.
