Adultificaton is a common racial bias where people see black children as older than they are, it results in a number of problems for those children.
I have fallen for this bias, as a largely unconscious bias we all can fall for it. I think one of the things we can do is self check when it happens to us and point it out when others perpetuate it.
Ok. Fair point. Didn’t know that. Will do better. Maybe it’s the small photo I’m looking at. There’s no racism intended.
You're awesome, Good work.
