Kids pair up younger than that. It doesn't amount to anything other than saying, "he's my boyfriend" but it is there.
There is nothing wrong with teaching kids that some people pair up differently. Hatred and prejudice have to be fought against. My 3rd grade daughter was complaining about a boy that was picking on her and I said maybe he liked her. She made an ugly face and said, "but he's black." I was horrified. I know she didn't learn that from us but she already picked it up. This is the problem.
Or your third grader could simply be articulating that she isn't attracted to black guys. I'm not attracted to black women either, and if ever at all, it's only one's that are light skinned with white facial features..
Am I racist too?
