When my kid was a toddler we were standing in a street and she suddenly pointed at a group of people that looked like Pakistanis or Indians or thereabouts and asked loudly “Why do those people have dark skin?”
The entire street stopped and looked at us just waiting for my answer.
That wasn’t the time to go into long explanations about immigration, adoption, skin pigmentation or UV radiation.
I answered loud and clear “That’s because their parents had dark skin”.
Everyone shrugged and continued their business, but I’d like to think that my simple answer was a lesson for all the people who were ready to get offended from either a racist answer or from an overly political correct answer.
