Ambient diversity notwithstanding, what you say to and about your kids has a tremendous impact. I guess she forgot about that part of being a "real" mom. Amen!

No way. If she doesn't get into the only diverse school in our small city (and a very diverse school it is), then we will move. It's that simple. Luckily, we are self-employed and we can move just about anywhere. My beliefs were re-affirmed this year when my daughter began pre-school. She came home the very first day talking about a little girl in her class who had eyes"just like her" and hair "just like her." In fact, according to my daughter, the only difference between her and her new (inseperable) best friend is - their voices.
