My daughter excluded a classmate from playing based on his skin color

My 7yo biracial (asian/white) daughter told a black (boy) at school that he could not play with her because she "didn't know how to play with brown people".Our family values tolerance and inclusion, and our school prides itself on diversity and inclusiveness, so this comment to her classmate came as a huge surprise to us. We attempted to learn from her whether she learned to talk like that from other kids, or where she learned it. Talking with the principal and her teachers, we understand that she was first excluded from playing a game based on being a girl, and she wanted to emulate that behavior. So, she found a few girl friends to play with, and excluded the boy based on his skin color.I know that we can't undo what was done to hurt her classmate's feelings and cause some justifiable grief with her family.But, we are doing everything we can at the moment to work with the school and the boy and his parents to work through a restorative process. We would also like to take whatever proactive steps within our family we can to teach our kids diversity, history, and inclusion.We have kids books on diversity and inclusion ranging from race to sexual orientation to gender identification, and when we read those books we have conversations about them.But, it's obviously not enough. I feel like our kids need more immersion and history. What are some ideas to go about that in a school, community, city, and state that are a large majority white? Any other recommendations or wisdom from parents who have been here before? via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/32oB4qn
