I went out to dinner with my dad and my sisters family (including my 7 year old niece, Josie). My dad hadn't seen the kids in awhile, in the meantime, the youngest, Mateah has learned to walk and to say my name. In any case, I casually mention "Dad, look at how dark Mateah's skin has gotten." (My brother in law is italian, and most of their kids have this beautiful olive skin). Anyways, without missing a beat, my niece says ""I hope she doesn't turn into a black person!"
There was an african american family sitting a few feet away.
Oh, sh*t.
