Kind of. The white kids didn't want to deal with a racist tree, and the racist tree wanted the
attention of the white children. It wasn't forced to do conform. It could have stuck to its
racism and not given the black kid an apple. It's both parties (the racist tree and the white
children) doing what they want. The story does a bad job at conveying the racist tree's innocence
(if that's what it's trying), because all the story amounts to is the tree willingly
compromising. The children aren't at fault because they had the right to stop playing with the
racist tree.
Basically, if it's being ironic, it's being ironic very badly.

you don't know what irony is. Anyway I don't think they are taking a stance o weather or not the
tree has a right to be racist. It just shows how social change happens, pretty smart actually.

The Racist Tree is just a parable on social progress. You could apply it to the South in the
50s-60s or other movements in other countries. The message is pretty much: "If you discriminate
in a manner which contemporary society does not accept, expect to be discriminated yourself."

I thought it was more "if you ostracise and belittle those who are racist, then they will stop
being racist for the wrong reasons, and are likely to continue their racism in private".
