Personally, I don’t care about race. I just feel like a 3-year-old shouldn’t even know or be saying things like that.

She said it more than once, but it wasn’t that deep. She’s a child at the end of the day, and I think some kids are just curious when someone’s skin looks different from theirs. I didn’t take offense to it, honestly.
