[Cadenza]

We can only do our part. When you hear your children saying something against your values and you speak up and refute what they have picked up at school you are doing your part. I believe that ultimately, persistent parental teaching and example can conquer peer influences. Sometimes there is a cultural divide to bridge as well. The only cure I know for racism is actual person to person contact between people of different races. When we see one another as individuals rather than as groups, we can break down stereotypes more easily. We can look at how far we have to go, but we should also look at how far we have come in a few generations.
