My niece is 5 and has very fair skin. when she was around 3 picked her up from school she loves to tell me what happened and i listen and conversate with her about everything that went on that day. well this day, she pointed out that she is "YELLA" and her baby doll is now "BLACK" and she may want a "YELLA" doll like herself !
I asked her who told her that she was yella and she says that her teacher told her that. (Surpised as heck!) So i told my sister and she and her husband had to talk to her.
