Just wanted to pass along this really interesting blog post I came across this morning: http://www.rageagainsttheminivan.com/2010/02/little-bigots-at-basketball.html.
Basically, the woman talks about the discrimination her young adopted sons faced while playing with other kids at a basketball program from 3-5 year olds. The moral of the story is that being "color blind" does not work, and reinforces to kids that race is so taboo it shouldn't even be discussed. The goal is to realize that there are kids of all different skin tones and that that isn't bad - just different!
