Hi there!
At age four, Bella says that she and our Black friends are brown and that we (her mommy & daddy) are pink. This is also the way our friends' kids talk about us. Calling a brown person "Black" is an artificial racial construct that little kids don't understand unless they are taught to do so.
"I'm Chocolate, You're Vanilla" is an excellent source as is "Does Anybody Else Look Like Me?"
