When did being black or asian become something to be ashamed of and never referred to?
I agree, roopooroo. It is pathetic that our world has so much racism that we have to worry about these things. I want to teach Jaden that there are probably better ways to refer to people because it may give defensive people the impression that he is racist. It shouldn't be a big deal to refer to someone's color, but unfortunatly, people have gotten so paranoid about being discriminated against that we have to watch what we say these days. I am just trying to think of a way to make Jaden understand this without making him think that color is something to be ashamed of. I've racked my brain and I can't think of a way to explain this to him without bringing racism into it. I wan't to protect him from that horrible word as long as I can.
