Battling Stereotypes Tips

I tell my child that there are good and bad qualities in people of all races, religion, and nationality. What we see in the media are usually just a snap shot of a brief time or place, and not representative of the masses. My child is learning to judge people by the actions that back up their words. Media is obsessed with race - whether it be the news media or the t.v. and motion picture industry. Most people are too busy taking care of their daily obligations to worry about the color of other people's skin or what Church other families' attend, if they attend at all. Most people don't care. I tell my child all of these things, and he, also, is too busy in his life to worry about the color of his classmates' skin. The pandering has to end.
