It used to be commonly said that kids learn racism, and I think this is largely true. At an early age, most kids have questions about why various groups of people appear to be different, but those questions are honest and deserve honest answers... People look different for a whole bunch of historical, cultural, and genetic reasons.
What kids don't do is ascribe normative value judgments to those differences.
Deciding that one skin color is better than another or falling to see people's other attributes because of racial differences isn't something most people innately do. And yet that's exactly what the DEI/woke/SJW/CRT/etc. crowd has successfully promoted for the last decade and now we live in a world where instead of seeing a character like Blade and saying "Wow, what a bad ass, I wish I could be like him!", or seeing Ke Huy Quan as Short Round and saying "Man, I wish I got to go on cool adventures with Indiana Jones!", kids are being trained to think that they can only be "represented" by somebody who shares similar skin pigment, ethnic background, and gender.
This is a massive step backward for humanity.
