" Don’t you think there have been non-white five-year olds who have expressed shame about their backgrounds?"
Yes and I bet they have been offered up as proof of systemic racism.
When a child is expressing shame at the colour of skin she was born with it is a problem - even if the child is white.
We know where the child is getting these ideas and it is time to put a stop to "white shaming" in government and all our public institutions.
