It does become harder and harder as she gets older. I was lucky because for the first four years of school, she was in a French immersion program that had children from everywhere. So, I think this made it very easy for her to accept that we all look and sound different. Now that she's in a mainstream school, I'm up against a lot "different" points of view from other kids.

It reminds me of when I was a little girl and used to use the peach or pink crayon to color in "white" people because the white crayon didn't really work on coloring book paper. I'm surprised (and impressed!) that you've been able to screen your daughter from the US race relations lingo for so long -- but clearly she's already gotten some ideas about monoracial families and the like. It's a sticky situation, good luck! I really like your blog, btw. That's hilarious and cute about the pink.
