Many of the children aren't 'pale' - in fact there are several who appear to have mixed and pure blood carribean origins (and one or two who look 'middle eastern'), and they happen to be the most friendly - I am on first name terms with several of them.

There is no better way to become acquainted with neighbours than to show you don't mind their children playing nearby - in fact I enjoy watching them play and have said so.


Seeing such a multicultural assortment of children all playing together has restored my faith that cultural integration is quite likely possible if adults stop indoctrinating their kids with their own prejudices.
