A common question in parenting groups is:
"I'm a good white liberal and I haven't taught my child any racism. They're now somewhere between 4-8 years old and have just expressed a racist idea. Where could they possibly have gotten it from???"
And then half the comments are horrified white parents who tell OP to interrogate their child, their child's friends and teachers, check what they're watching on YouTube, etc.
White parents STILL don't want to recognize the impact of systemic racism.
