Lovely stuff. Reminds me of a heart-warming moment from a few weeks ago. Talking to my son;

Dave: who is your best friend at school?
Dave junior: Um...Siriman.
Dave: Great, I thought so...you enjoy playing with him don't you.
Dave junior: yes, we like drawing together and playing in the playground. We like all the same things.
Dave: is there any difference between you?
Dave junior: (pauses and thinks for a long time)...I am a bit taller than Siriman, but that doesn't matter...we are really the same.

It gives me hope when my very fair skinned, white boy with blond hair, sees the only difference is his height. Siriman is black African.

Yes. Gives me hope too. Problem is similar was giving me hope 65 years ago, 55 years ago, 45 years ago, 35 years ago, 25 years ago and about every other year I can remember.
