My DH's family is Hispanic. He has many cousins, and one dark skinned female cousin is called "negrita" by everyone in the family. Her pale, redheaded sister is called "mona". They call me "muņeca chocolate" (I won't even translate that!). These may sound racist to some, but they are all terms of endearment to us. I completely understand Babs Bush calling her grandchildren her "brown babies" as pet names, not as insults. It's not for people outside her (or my) family to say that that is racist. It's not being said to you or your kids.
