Wednesday, September 8 _________________________ They learn young [journal] Today a 5-year-old said, "C is my best friend; we're are a team." I replied, "Oh yah? Do you guys live near each other?" He looked at me like I was crazy and said, "I'm black. He's white. How could I be able to live near him?" I had to explain that where I live, there are people of all colours. Afterwards, I wondered if I should have gone in further detail about race, but is he too young and would I say the right things? Another interesting thing was he called himself black even though he was Indian and he called his friend white even though his friend was Phillipino. posted by joe | permalink | |
