    Sesame Street has two new Muppets, a Black father and son, in an effort to help children understand racial literacy. In the promo, Elmo asks why Wes’s skin is brown. His dad Elijah explains how “the color of our skin is an important part of who we are.”https://nbcnews.to/2PqJ3SK

        Wow. 5 or 10 years ago it would have been the color of the skin doesn’t matter. I love the fact that it’s now recognized as a part of who we are without defining who we are.

        I don't watch Sesame Street and never did so I legitimately don't know this but are there any other puppets that are clearly a certain race?

        Ah yes, reducing someone down to the color of the skin as if they had any choice in the matter. Clearly content of character means nothing, only superficial qualities define who we are. I love when we take 1 step forward and 63 back.

        They aren’t doing that though. most likely they will focus on that for the lesson of the day. it is not wrong, people’s race is important to their identity and shapes their experience in the world. they are Black and will talk about it but they (hopefully) will be dimensional.
