Sandra says son understands what racism means

Sandra Bullock says she is already teaching her five-year-old son Louis about racism and other biases.
In a new interview with BET, the Our Brand Is Crisis star, 51, said these were the important conversations to have and it was better to begin early.

“He fully understands what that means. He doesn’t understand why people judge each other based on color of their skin, but he knows they do. He also knows there’s sexism, he knows that there’s homophobia,” she said. The actress said as a mother she would want to protect her son from all evils in the world but she also wants him to be aware about the reality.

“I want him to know the truth, but I also want him to know the good in the world as well. Those are hard conversations to have. It’s not any conversation any parent wants to have with their child, is that you’ll be judged by the color of your skin rather than the content of your character. But it exists, and I want him to be safe and I want him to be aware.”
