It's sad that there are still idiotic hate mongers in the world. I don't know when you'd address the Klan or other groups, but discrimination may be an issues much earlier than you think. Children carry preconceived notions with them, embedded by thier parents, when they first begin school. My baby SIL, I cringe to say, has been swayed by her father, my much older FIL (who was undoubtedly raised like that too). She is sixteen now, (my FIL is in his mid-60s), so he has begun to make choices for herself about friends, boyfriends, etc but I am still stunned, mortified really when he says bigoted things. It really horrifies me that she has grown up with that and has some residual mistrust of people based on their complexion.
