<p>we live in a famous upscale and very diverse small town. when my youngest started kindergarten she told that she had made friends with two girls, who i will call annie and beth. she wanted them to come over on the same day. both moms agreed. my daughter told me to look out for the three of them by saying that one was black and the other yellow. don’t jump here folks…the three girls came out. one was a black girl with blond hair–mom was white–the other was middle eastern with coal black hair. the girls had a great time…but i couldn’t figure out the black and yellow thing. i waited a few days and asked my daughter why she thought beth, the middle eastern girl was yellow. you got it…she thought beth was black because of her hair color…and annie was yellow because of her hair color.</p>
