The people who are making this political are the adults, particularly her father.
Far down mine too, but Bell apparently disagrees. He labels it “little kid racism”. Some in this thread label it systemic racism, or structural racism.
What Bell did was to teach his daughter that anything that happens to her is racism. You can call it not waiting for a smoking gun. You can also call it teaching her how to play the race card.
It doesn’t appear he wants to delay it - he just wants her to label it as racism. I don’t see how that helps her be more comfortable in her own skin.
