And I do not for a moment wish to suggest otherwise.
It is an incredible thing though how so much of the world that to a Caucasian feels utterly benign is bitter toward and/or excluding of individuals of other ethnic background.
One of the more ethnically diverse baby books my daughter has, features angels from all the major ethnicities--but the main character is a little Caucasian toddler, with Caucasian parents. My daughter is evidently not within the book's target demographic.
A small thing, in the greater scheme of things. But, for some, life is full of countless such small tragedies; that members of the majority generally do not even notice.
