[quote=Anonymous]My children are biracial and talk about skin colors all the time. One child calls himself golden and the other calls himself tan. Their dad is very dark skinned and they call him brown. I’m white and they call me peach. The point is that children are observant and if you let them be curious about skin color and talk about it matter-of-factly, they will respond in kind. I think adults sometimes rush to projections and introduce judgments where there were none in childhood innocence.[/quote]
