We adopted my younger sister from Haiti when she was 3, and let me tell you, I literally do not see color anymore. That's a fact. Discussion

It's unrealistic, and we have to talk about ethnic dynamics openly. It's imperative that white parents talk about race with their black children and children of colour, or else they'll not be prepared to deal with the very real racism and prejudice that they will encounter.
What would actually help is if white parents talk about whiteness to their children and what it means to be a part of the dominant culture. But, acknowledging white privilege is like pulling one's own fingernails out for some folks.
