Answer:
Well, to start, I would tell your daughter that the assumption that to call someone "Cracker", "Honkey", "Whitey", "Gringo" is ok, I think, is not true: these can be insults the same as Kike, porch monkey, et al. I am caucasian, "white" if you prefer. Yet, I have marched in MLK parades: I would tell your daughter that I do not think Dr. King was pro-black. I think he was for equality for all. Including you and me. We celebrate Washington's and Lincoln's birthdays: ask her if she thinks they are "white" holidays? I do not think so. I remember a time (and I am not that old) when television had no non-white actors. You can explain this to her, and then ask how she views American television now: one sided or not? And, perhaps you could ask her how she would like things to be in the future: a world where we continue to typecast people by race, or one where we look at people for who they are beyond skin color. I suspect, if she stands up for inequality wherever she sees it, she will rarely be accused of being racist, and when it occurs, she will not need to defend herself: those she has stood with will stand by her. In my experience, kids are very sensitive to unfairness both against themselves, and others. Perhaps she is smart enough to realize that it is not an issue she has to chose sides on: supporting equality for minorities does not mean denying it for the rest. Now, if only the adults could be as perceptive..
