My children base it on how they are treated and how the person treats others. My girls have friends with disabilities, mental, emotional and physical (best friends included), they know people of many races, cultural, belief systems, and ethnic backgrounds and describe them by their clothing from across the room. Example: the African American/ Asian man across the room with multiple piercings, a small tattoo, and blue spiked hair is described as "He's the one wearing the purple hat and plaid flannel shirt. Nice guy, but kinda shy and soft spoken."

I love my kids.

Yes, they're white. Yes, they look like they've never known a bad ass in their life time. Yes, they've usually gotten good grades and were well behaved in school. Yes, they can all kick ass if and when needed. They and their many varied friends, gay, autistic, mixed race, culturally commanded...they are the future. Thank you to the cause behind their power!
