[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My child accurately described someone as Asian and her friends told her that was racist. She said that her best friend had brown skin. Ditto. Now even at home w me she hesitates to use any descriptive term for skin color or race. [/quote] I once said this Indian lady was smelly and my kids said I was not allowed to say that and that was racist. I didn’t say all Indians were smelly. I can see my kids are hesitant to describe anyone by the color of their skin. If they are talking about Johnny. They may describe him as the boy with brown hair when he they can say he is black. I don’t think mentioning someone’s skin or ethnicity makes you sound racist.[/quote]
