This immediately reminded me of a sad experience when I was little. I loved to color and had colored some of the people in my coloring book dark brown (this was back in the early 1960's). I was very fond of our housekeeper and her skin was that color and I was not yet old enough to be taught to hate. It just seemed to be a normal thing to me to color people like the lady I loved who was always kind to me. My mom was livid and tore those pages out of my coloring book. I still remember that, being told I had done something wrong. Fortunately I did not grow up to be a racist.

"Parents raise kids to be racist" is a reductionist way of looking at it. There is no escaping the fact that, although people aren't necessarily born racist, we do have inherent instincts to trust in-group individuals more than out-group individuals.

I’ve had cashiers comment on how many carrots I bought, read my greeting cards, criticize me for returning pants that were too long instead of altering them myself, ask me lots of times if this or that is good, but never something that blatantly inappropriate. The carrot thing was funny tho, because I just bought one carrot, and she just had one arm. And she looks to the bagger and snidely says, who buys just one carrot? And I thought, yeah it’s weird when there’s just one of something when there’s usually more, but I didn’t say it because society hadn’t completely crumbled back then like it has now. I never saw ol one arm again so she was probably rude to lots of people.

Yes they are! I'm so grateful to my parents because I grew up in a home without hate, too. My mom didn't tolerate any type of discrimination in our house whether it was about race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, disabilities - AT ALL! She didn't entertain jokes where someone's feelings were the punchline and I mean she would tell you quick, fast and in a hurry that it was unacceptable. I was like 9 or 10 the first time I even heard the N word (and I live in the south) from a kid in my neighborhood. I came home and asked her what it meant and she very quickly told me it was a word people used when they wanted the world to know they were ignorant. Being young, I believed her and seriously thought that was the definition until she came into my room later that night and told me where it came from and that saying that word was hurtful to black people's feelings just the same as if someone called me ugly or stupid, and she let me know that to say it was telling the world of your ignorance. She grabbed a coloring book off my shelf and gave it to me then handed me one white crayon and told me to color her a picture. I told her I needed more colors and she said no that I had to use just white and I got a little upset and started whining about needing more colors. She asked me why and I told her that the picture wouldn't be pretty with just one color and then she told me never to forget that. That the world wouldn't be pretty with just one color either and that's why people are all different colors, that if God had used just the white crayon the world wouldn't be pretty. It wasn't nearly as profound to me then as it became as I got older but I will never stop being grateful for being allowed to grow up without having to carry the burden of hating anyone for being different.
