Some people are just super sheltered and it’s ok to be part of the lucky ten thousand.
The first time my brother encountered a black person IRL he asked my mother “what’s wrong with his skin?” She didn’t yell at him for his ignorance. She apologized to the man in front of them in line at the grocery store, then explained that skin comes in more colors than “white”. Now, he was like 6 at the time. But still. He was part of the lucky ten thousand that day.
