Today I found out that my child, an American child in year 2025, doesn’t know the word racism. I’m the best parent in the fucking universe.

It is an achievement to be proud of. Pray tell how you managed this feat, because I’m really curious.

You reminded me of something that happened when my daughter (now 48) was about the age yours is now. We were reading a historical novel about school desegregation, and my daughter was totally confused by the whole idea of racial prejudice. I tried to explain it, but she honestly couldn’t understand why anyone wouldn’t want their kids going to school with kids whose skin was darker than theirs. I hated telling her about it; I felt as if I were destroying her innocence.
