[quote=Anonymous]He is just processing concepts (like skin tone) but doesn't have the life long experience you have so don't expect him to be eloquent, measured and correct when he talks about it. Maybe talk appreciatively about the range of skin colors out there. Perhaps he overheard someone say the baby was light skinned in an approving tone and he hasn't heard anyone mention his skin tone? Kids can see racism that exists all over but we need to actively model anti-racism so they appreciate differences as positive.[/quote]
