        I don’t think indoctrinating your children to not want to date people purely on race is a good thing

          Most people probably don’t think doing anything based only on race is very good anymore. Unfortunately if you keep to a totally homogenous group, use only negative language to describe another group (like black people or hispanic people being this or lazy or entitled or weird names or bad music or whatever), and only associate people from those groups with causes or ideas you feel strongly negative about (BLM / border walls / etc)… You are still providing some good old fashioned indoctrination to that effect. That behavioral training will stick much deeper than any message you might give about not seeing color or similar. It’s easy to get really sideways really fast with tribal behaviors, since that’s sort of the main human distinguishing thing.

            While prejudice does happen, simply getting to know the person basically destroys it completely. It’s more of a problem in policing, hiring, etc. Things that require assumptions about people to gauge important situations
