Me too Lorraine, I have to say that's the thing I am most thankful for learning from my grandparents, father and my husband, even when faced with blantant racism they have never let it take their dignity from them, or stooped to the same level, they always remain respectful and keep their heads up any way. It does no good to go all "ghetto" on people reinforcing their ignorance.

You know?? Back when I played with barbies, I too wanted a change and was thrilled to pieces when I was able to get an African American doll. My mother never said a word..... This doll was far prettier than all the white ones. Looked to be of Jamican descent. Had I been able to keep collecting, I would have bought more women of color for sure!
Kudos to your little girl |
