This caused a little moment of discomfort when we took a trip down south and we stopped at a gas station where an African American guy nicely attired in all black was waiting in line before us.<br /><br />"Mama, is that the black man?" My son asked. Of course he didn't whisper.<br /><br />"You mean, is that Darth Vader?" I replied as loudly as I could, so the guy knew I wasn't some kind of supremacist. "No, he's just wearing black."<br /><br />[Facepalm]<br /><br />Fortunately for my son (but not for me), he was five when the first of the prequels came out, so he saw them at the appropriate ages, with the appropriate childlike sense of wonder. He likes them just fine. Sigh.Diane Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04128401898400900879noreply@blogger.com
