"Messed-Up Color"

Great article at Salon: "When my husband and I moved to a mostly black neighborhood four years ago, 8-year-old Tyrone became our friend. Then one day he asked me if I was white..." This reminded me of the moment my friend's little girl realized, in amazement, that I am white, except that this story seems infinitely sadder to me...
