All white people are racists...or "white fragility" ??

Roght, so...I should I focus on race instead of teaching colorblindness?  

I'm legitimately confused here.  When I raise my very, very white daughter, how do Ido so in a way that she won't contribute by to racism?

Currently, we don't discuss it. We live in an area with a heavy hispanic population, and most of her friends are hispanic or black.  I do not talk about it, and neither do their parents o their kids. Why would we?  This seems to be working for us.  But this article, and BQ's comments here seem to imply I'm doing it wrong?

/facpalm

This is not an easy issue.  And it seems to place all the onus on me.  I guess that's why it's distressing.  I don't want to hurt people!  So how do I avoid it?

I think that people are insulted because of one's lack of knowledge of traditional cultural differentiations. In the past there have been countless genocides, due to cultural differences in morality since the dawn of intelligence. Where there is a clash in perceived cultural morality, there exists racism.
