I thought this is a cute picture which shows racial diversity here. We just went to the local Democrats meeting. Ela was playing with other kids. It happened that the kids were just like on the picture. By the way, the boy and girl from the picture are adopted by white parents. Children play so naturally with each other independing on how they look, that I had to make their picture  |

Jaga, the photo reminds me of expanding a US Army grade school in Germany shortly after the wall opened up. We had a Czech subcontractor on the job, happy as the devil for the experience, the new freedom, and the Deutschmarks they were earning on the job. We couldn't converse much, but one day i was with their foreman during a recess period, and he looked out at the children of every color and form out there playing happily together. It really impressed him as a great thing, as he said, "by us the children would be in separate groups according to ethnicity, and they would not be mixing."
Would it only be so for us as adults to play peacefully together as well!

Jaga,
Very sweet, charming and nice image, it shows the democratic America!
In Europe children mix too, but unfortunately when they get older you get
strong ethnic groups, Dutch with Dutch, Turks with Turks, Maroccans with
Maroccans, Surinamese with Surinamese and etc.
Muslims also do not mix with eachother, each group has it's own Mosques,
only the Islamic basic schools and highschools are for all ethnic groups.

Great picture, Jaga! Looks like your daugher made some fun new friends!
There is something very beautiful in the way kids are so natural and untainted by the negative things in the world of adults.

Nice fun photo of every one, as they are having a glorious time! Are the children visitors to your area, or are they all school mates?

I think this is the way how kids are! They accept other kids independing on their race. Later we split and then as elderly we come back together. I do believe that when we are older there is also a moment of accepting others, just because we all will share the same fate, rich, poor, white, black.
I am glad you liked the picture so much!
