Knowing that and doing it are two different things.

Among caregivers who say they do talk to kids about race, many are actually using egalitarian language -"Everybody's equal," "Everybody's the same on the inside" - instead of engaging race at all. White parents are particularly likely to reach for color-blind framing, but they're not alone.
