[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When virtue signallers get going like this it makes me wonder do they think their children are racist and need to be deprogrammed?     Or do they feel like they themselves have always held racist beliefs and perceptions and need to change themselves?

Can someone recommend a good children’s Christmas book that doesn’t emphasize Christianity and a white baby Jesus and teaches that love and giving are not tied to a religion or a holiday?

Actually there is a ton of research that humans are born inherently racist.  Babies as young as 6 months prefer to look at faces that are the same race as their primary caregiver, for example.  There is just no scientific basis to the idea that “colorblindness” works to teach children to treat all races equally, because there is an evolutionary benefit to tribalism.

So we can either pretend race doesn’t exist and let our kids pick up the biases that exist everywhere in our culture and media, or we can openly and directly talk about race.[/quote]
