Trying to teach your kids "not to see race" isn't helping anybody

Let's normalize teaching kids go be accepting and educated when it comes to other cultures and ethnicities rather than overlooking them. Discrimination exists DUE to a lack of sympathy, connection and understanding to people who are different. Don't teach them to push away differences, teach them to embrace and learn from them. Because kids will see race, whether you want them to or not. That little white child just asked the little brown child if her skin is that color because "she doesn't clean it". That little mixed child with a tight afro is crying because she wants "pretty" long hair like the children of other races. That new kid who just moved to this country and doesn't speak much English is sitting alone because everyone thinks the food he packs is weird and gross. Teach them not to be afraid of the differences. Teach them to notice the differences and embrace them.
