My yard is often full of brown, Mexican kids, Pueblo Indian kids, blonde headed kids, ranging in age and size from grade school kids to young middle schools kids. The big kids look after the little kids, and include them in whatever they are doing, riding bikes, digging holes, making a fort, throwing the football, a baseball, or playing games. They do this with little or no adult interjection. New kids are always welcome and included in the group. I’ve watched this process for several years now. None of them are rich, or even well off, and some of them are poor. The things I’ve noticed that they have in common are two parent families, and extended families that love them, and work to raise them right.

That sounds like the way it should be
You realize of course, you are totally, completely, 100% non PC, but I agree with you :-)
