[quote=Anonymous]Mentioning that someone has a skin color is not offensive. I’ve been in situations where someone was being described to me and the person was so scared to mention she was describing a black person that it was ludicrous when I realized who was being described. I’m a black person and of course people are not expected to be so colorblind they don’t even notice it, lol. I know that you mean well but I suspect you may be one of those people who prefer never to acknowledge that race exists and you do your child no favor with that mentality. I suggest you read that chapter in Nurtureshock about kids and race and also that you pick up some books from the library that have diverse characters. Good luck.[/quote]
