And the answer to the kid’s question is possibly: Yes. His classmate’s skin would be brown because his ancestors lived in Africa, or some other tropical area, for thousands of years, while the white kid’s ancestors lived in colder climates: adaptation to climatic conditions over thousands of years.

>>This incident was in the Ubnited Kingdom, not the USA.
While that is certainly true, if anyone thinks our Leftists aren’t taking us down the same road at every opportunity, they haven’t been paying attention.

I wonder what they would have said if they would have overheard what I said to my mother while we were sitting at a lunch counter in the late 50’s? I asked her if the black man sitting next to us needed to wash his face to get the dirt off of it. My mother was horrified and apologized profusely to the man but it was hard to get her apology in between all of his laughter.

I have one daughter who has a dark Caucasian color and one daughter that is a redhead and very fair. We had been discussing how people come in different colors with our girls and joking that our youngest was a brown little coconut.
Going to pick up my girls from dance class, I was accosted by a mother (white lady with Peurto Rican husband), who wanted me to know that my daughter had asked her daughter is she was white or brown. Of course, she was quite upset about it.
All I did was call me daughter over to where I stood with the accusing woman and asked, “Tell me dear, what color are you?” to which she instantly replied, “Brown”.
I then turned to the woman and asked, “Anything else?” She looked very befuddled and left.

That’s the nuts and bolts of it, alright.
Only someone looking to “make somethin’ of it” would think that any such observation/question was “racist”.
The question he was asking was - “why is some people’s skin darker than others”, and this could have been easily answered with your explanation. Instead, since it was a “white” child that asked it, the question was “racist”.

The age of legal responsibility in the UK is 10 years , therefore this action is illegal.
If natural childhood curiosity is to be suppressed the result will be a generation of Drones.

I’ve posted one of those before, and they tend to get pulled. Personally, I think they are funny, much more than racist.

My father many years ago had to apologize to a woman at work, he was working for GM, for he told her that the Egyptian Pharaohs were not all black. He was correct of course but she took offense since that was her cultural pride tangent she was off on as a black woman. Common sense and reality have nothing to do with political correctness. I got in trouble once for telling a black co-worker that black culture is sometimes responsible for it's own problems in America. He was a horrible racist but since he was black it was okay for him to slam white people constantly but I couldn't comment on black culture. This incident with these children shows how far this has gone, you can't have a dialog about race if only one side can speak.
To: ZX12R; GrandJediMasterYoda
How could anyone interpret those as racist? They are a celebration of cultural diversity.
