No one can live in an environment “diverse enough" or “friendly enough" or “good enough" to protect children from the pain of racism. Discrimination hurts everyone – all races, all ages. White parents are especially susceptible to being surprised or taken aback by racist experiences, because they don’t anticipate them. Parents of color can fall victim to feeling discouraged and disheartened in the face of the ever-present reality of racial bias. In order to successfully support their children of color, parents must take an honest look at their own blind spots and biases, in order to be effective anti-racist allies.
