Kids On Race

2010 May 19

Question of the day: Is racial bias a socialized behavior? Is it due to lack of exposure to other kinds of people or a natural fear of the unknown? As a species capable of heightened reasoning ability, are we not morally obligated to guide our children past irrational fears or prejudices? It goes without saying that some people actually encourage this kind of behavior from their children.

See the original on CNN.

It is likely that most parents believe they are raising their kids to the best of their abilities with the goal of making them the best human beings possible.  That is obviously the goal of this mother.  Perhaps more attention needs to be given to how attitudes and perceptions develop over things we tend to not talk about.  Maybe that is the point of this.
