I remember moving to California and then suddenly it was all some big deal what race everyone was.
Originally I thought it came down to the difference between high class families like the ambassadors and CEOs whose kids were with me in that private school overseas vs the common ilk at the California schools (which in reality were part of a very affluent part of town).

Now I know it's just sick, stupid fascination this country has with skin color.
Looks like we have similar background.

I don't care about colors, but I lived a really sheltered life.

My two nephews look 100% white, one is a blonde, the other one has dark brown hair. I took them to feed the homeless veterans sometimes, and one had been bullied by one homeless (civilian) once, long story. He noticed "color" for the first time. But he got over it.

I think kids should be kids. Kids are actually very resilient.

My best friend was an orphan, he learned how to fight for food at a very young age. His view about "race" is entirely different from mine. He is a VERY tough white guy who is impossible to approach. A lot of people think of him as a racist, but he really is not. He is one of the kindest person I have ever known.

It is not wise to judge others when you (the general term you) don't know what they have been through.

This woman actually thinks in terms of sacrificing her children for the cause. That's some pretty extreme white liberal virtue signalling. There seems to be no limit in how far people will go with this kind of thing.

No matter what the little liberal snowflakes were taught by their snowflake parents, the world is what it is and they have to face some realities.
My 18 month old wouldn't allow the non white that was here yesterday hold her. My niece came over with her boyfriend and some girl she knows had her non white BF with her and my 18 month old REFUSED to let him hold her. Kids DO notice race! I know mine do and I have done nothing to discourage it either. Its called NATURE.

Race is FAR more than skin color...

That is pretty pukeworthy. Hell, my kid is mixed and I think that is about the dumbest thing I have ever read with how Walmart can pay 50% more rivaling it.


Read them both in the last 15 minutes. Internet getting dumber by the day.

Lol....some just evolved more than others....

I think kids notice differences, but the differences only mean something to them if they're raised in a household that teaches people are different based on skin color. Noticing differences is natural for kids. Reacting to differences, not at all natural.

I'm not saying you did anything to foster the response, but it's not natural for a child to respond that way simply because someones skin color is different.

Are you sure it wasn't because it was a male?

Kids go from going naked running around the living room to being scared of a shadow - they have diff fears at diff ages. Did you all not have kids or know some one who did! Omg already - just waiting for this thread to go. "Cut"

No. She goes to her uncles and her grandfathers etc. She isn't around other races. None of my kids are because me and their mother aren't,unless its at work.

Probably get rebellious and bring home a black boyfriend in about 15 years. Kids will be kids.
