[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Of course. What a crazy question. Are you white?[/quote]
Of course. Do you not realize white people are universally not allowed to comment on any characteristics like this? We say something about someone’s hair: your racist. We say something about skin color when it isn’t favorable: racist. Sure, this is old thinking, but many of us that are parents now grew up being taught that acknowledging race exists is racist. We are trying to do better so I understand where OP comes from. Many of we’re literally taught that not being “colorblind “ means you are racist. [/quote]
Forgive all the grammar mistakes, autocorrect. I swear I’m not stupid. 😂 [/quote]

Lol OP here. This is why I ask. When we were growing up we were just sort of taught to be accepting and not point things out. Now I’m a parent and my child is pointing things out left and right and I’m worried she might say something offensive when describing someone’s skin tone. We are not allowed to make any type of remarks in fear of being thought of as racist. So that is my perspective.[/quote]
