The Price of Privilege

It’s no secret that from a young age, children begin picking up notions of race. A recent study I read mentioned that even starting from as young as the age of two, children begin to pick their friends by who looks similar to them. Racial differences are ingrained in us. And that’s not necessarily bad, because most people take pride in their ethnicity—I know I do!—but it becomes problematic when we selectively discriminate against those who do not look like us.
