Out of the Mouth of Babes

So, as we were driving along yesterday, my daughter asked me what the word racism meant. I attempted to explain that it was when one group of people with a common genetic characteristic, such as skin color, felt that they were superior to another group of people with a different genetic characteristic. As I was giving examples, she turned to me with a perplexed look on her face and said, "I thought we were all just a part of one race...the human race." I said, "Exactly, my dear. Exactly."
