Both my kids have been taught african american culture (both are cauc) (Probably more so my daughter because she is older)
Anyway, my son doesn't refer to his friends as black or white. Instead he will say my friend with brown skin, or tan skin, sometimes says white skin, etc. I have referred to friends of his as being black and he always corrects me.
Do you think it's offensive for him to say brown skin etc when speaking of certain friends or should I teach him instead to say african american or black? I think it's kinda cute but I don't want any of his friends to be offended. I can just see in my mind my son saying "your not black your brown" etc.
BTW he's seven
