It's not something that would bother me personally.

I'd rather live in a world where we can all laugh at ourselves and each other. Humour is important as it relieves the tensions of life. Things become a problem when we take them too seriously. That's my view.

I wish everyone saw it that way.

Well you obviously approach life in a balanced way and have associated with people who think in the same way.
When my daughter first started nursery she met children from Pakistan, Bangladesh and India. At three years of age she said she was going out to Africa to sort out the water. Out of the mouth of babes. She taught these girls their alphabet and sums. She was blue eyed gold blond haired. They adored her and squealed with delight whenever she turned up at school.
At four she started a new school. After a week she came home and said, ' I am sick of looking at pink and white faces, I want to go back to my girls.
Racism is learnt. My daughter's innocent reaction was because she had only ever seen white skin.
