I wasn�t born a scientist. And you weren�t either.



There�s a photo which keeps cropping up in my facebook feed and it bothers me. It shows a white girl, maybe three years, kissing a black boy the same age. The caption says �No one is born racist.� It�s adorable. It�s inspirational. But the problem is, it�s not true.

Children aren�t saints. We�re born mistrusting people who look different from us, and we treat those who look like us better.
