So kind of you @dswigle!!
Out of the mouths of babes do we gain strength.
Funny you said that, our girls here have never really been around black children before. The few they know in Cambodia they would certainly refer to as black as being the most identifiable feature. However, even though Suriname is mostly Asian, our school district is predominantly black. Now, surrounded by black classmates, they can't just refer to the black kid and think I will know who it is. The more multiethnic the place, the more you gotta describe people I guess. I'm easy, the "big ginger guy with the turban."
