Eliminating the Hurts of White Racism
White people world-wide have been hurt by white racism, a conditioning which limits their lives and locks them into the oppressor role vis-a-vis people of color. No white person ever volunteered to become a racist. These patterns of hurt and fear are set in place when they are quite young, after they have been intimidated and attacked by adults many times to teach them "their place" as children.

How Do Children See Race?
This section, titled "Do White Children See Race Differently?" concludes the first section of Dr. Wright's book, in which she outlines the developmental steps in which young children first perceive skin color and race, and the meanings they attach to these attributes. Dr. Wright has outlined her advice on how to raise black and biracial children (and indeed, all children) with as little racial bias as possible in our race-conscious world, and ends her section on preschoolers with this passage.

Loving Day
On June 12th, 1967, interracial couples became legal thanks to the Supreme Court decision entitled Loving v. Virginia. Before that date, states had the right to separate and punish interracial couples. These punishments included imprisonment of up to ten years. Violations included marriage, sex, and living together. This issue is a part of the civil rights movement that is too often forgotten. On June 12th of every year, celebrate your legal right to love a person of any race.

Teasing
From "four-eyes" and "teacher's pet" to "hey, dummy" and "lost again, loser," mean-spirited teasing happens to almost every child at some point. Taunting often hurts kids' feelings – but it's also an opportunity for you to teach your child coping and assertiveness skills so that he can learn how to deal with people who tease.

The Development of Ethnic Identity Among Chinese Adoptees: Paradoxical Effects of School Diversity
Abstract: The development of attitudes towards one's own as well as other ethnic groups are childhood precursors of ethnic identity. The current paper examines the formation of ethnic attitudes among 266 school-age children who were born in China and adopted by Americans and, at the time of the study, were attending 254 different elementary schools across the country. We hypothesized that a disposition to associate socially desirable traits with being Chinese would be fostered by a school environment that was itself racially and ethnically diverse. In order to test this hypothesis, we linked attitudinal data from a photo preference task with archival data quantifying the number and distribution of students of different races and ethnicities in each child's school and other relevant data elements from a parents' questionnaire. The results do not support the assumption that diversity at school encourages children adopted from China to associate socially desirable traits with being Chinese. To the contrary, children attending schools with greater diversity were less likely to show a Chinese preference, and more likely to show a White preference. Further analysis suggested that such paradoxical results may be explained by the privileged economic status of the adoptive children which gave them more in common with White than with other minority classmates.

The Moment It Hit Me
" There are very few moments in life where the past and present meet. Entering that class on that day with those thirty other faces that looked just like mine staring back at me was one of those moments in my life. I have never felt apart of something bigger or larger than myself, I only saw the single solitary face from the mirror; the almond eyes that did not look like anyone nor associated with anyone who shared a story similar to mine.
