I have never used words like "black" or "white" or "asian" to my 4 year old.
In fact, a while back she was showing her dolls to my grandmother (who is kinda backwards in some areas), and two of the dolls are black with pink and purple bodies, and the white one has a blue body. When she offered Grandma a doll, She said "I don't want that one, I want the white one." To which my daughter said "there is no white it's pink ..and this one is purple."
she did not usderstand that white meant the skin color. Should I introuduce these terms to her? She knows there is some difference in apperance, but that is all....
