The title isn't what you think. Seriously, give the article a read.
Granted, I've read NurtureShock and am a bit of a convert myself, but the core argument regarding race and children is that ignoring race is just as bad as teach kids to be lil' klan kiddies.
Like with most things in life, you have to confront the issue and present all relevant sides to an argument. Yes, there are different races in our world. Everyone is raised or at least influenced a bit differently. But different doesn't mean bad in most aspects.
People seem to want to have the easy way out. But folks who want it all the time really shouldn't be parents. I hope to do a damn sight better than that with our little guy.
