Well for us, I just tell my son that they are just jealous - being Native American is cool.

But I am just so happy that my kids don't see the differences as a problem. Oddly DH and I were only talking the other day about how people can be like this - what could possibly be wrong in their heads that they hate a person without even knowing anything about them...

I feel that if I just ensure my kids arent one of them, then I am not contributing to the problem.
