  Slightly off-topic, but related. My father told me that when I was about 3 years old and we were riding a bus in Brooklyn, I pointed over to a black lady passenger and said really loud: Daddy, why is that lady dark? Fortunately, the black lady had a good sense of humor and understood kids' natural curiosity. She and my father started laughing. This was back in the 1950s, but I really wonder what would happen if this had occurred in present-day times.:confused:  if it had occurred today, your father would have had to fight his way off the bus for being a 'racist' that indoctrinated their children. that's a little bit of an exaggeration for most situations, but it's not far off either.
