[quote=Anonymous]I'm a bit confused by your original post, OP, but I think explaining Jim Crow to 2nd graders and describing it as "pretty cuckoo" isn't really offensive. I mean, "cuckoo" is a kinder way of describing it than it deserves. Was there a lesson about Dr. King in there somewhere? That's where the opportunity lies, not reacting to what was likely a poorly articulated anecdote by your child. As for the Elsa stuff, little white girls liking the Snow Queen and trying to replicate the images they saw in pretend play isn't racist -- it's just fantasy. There's no hatred in that replication or assignment of roles -- just imitation. Are you suggesting Frozen, which was set in the Nordics, is racist? Or Disney was racist for making it? [/quote]
