As a society, we have a long way to go in terms of achieving racial and ethnic tolerance. Heck, because of Islamophobia, some people believe we should bomb Princess Jasmine’s fictional kingdom of Agrabah. You know…just because.”

I think you’re right. I was talking with my son about something similar and explained that I really felt like it’s a generational thing — eventually his generation will be old enough to run things, and they’ll have an entirely different perspective. It’s encouraging.

As a general society we do have a long way. However, as individuals, I think we’re working in the right direction. My sons see mixed races and don’t question anything. They are who they are. Perhaps it’s the frequency of which they see diversity.
