Hellobee Boards

@mrsjazz: My LO is too young, but my nephew (husband's nephew really) has brought it up several times regarding my LO. He has asked if she's brown (like DH and him) or white (like me). DH always jumps in and answers brown, but I want to just ask the nephew what he thinks---just to hear the answer. We once asked him to pick the doll that looked most like our M at FAO Schwartz when they had a huge display of all kinds of babies--and he picked an east Asian one--haha, so cute.

My son talks about skin color very matter of factly, as in "oh, that brown man over there" or "my skin is pink."

Not my 4 yr old but my 6 yr old has mentioned friends being really white, dark dark brown, light tan, medium tan, etc.

I am just like yep we are all different

She hasn't commented. We live in a pretty diverse area, and her daycare is also. Plus, she owns dolls of all different kinds. We've tried to make it a non-issue as much as possible, but Im waiting for it to come up.

No, at 2 1/2 she really doesn't seem to notice. We don't live in a very diverse area, which I hate, because I feel like it's harder to discuss it when most people look the same. She LOVES Mulan, Doc McStuffins, and Pocahontas and she just says "they princesses they so pretty" so I don't' think she even notices that they look different than her which is great.

DD will be 4 in March and it's never come up. We talk about hair color though.
She doesn't even know she's korean

LO goes to a diverse daycare so I've been waiting for some comment. So far all I've heard her say is that she "is no Chinese" and shakes her head. Usually it's in response to when I ask her if she's speaking Chinese but the way she says it I think she's saying she isn't Chinese (ethnicity of the daycare providers and about half of the kids).
