    I am coming at this from the other side - my daughter is white and is the only white child in her class. She is just 6. Some of the other kids are mean about her colouring. They are not quite being racist towards her but they are using her skin colour against her. It is hard being a minority, she hates that they see her as "different"

    Did you ever take it up with the teacher!

    Yes, her teacher is great it is under control to a degree, the funny thing is that to the parents and grandparents of the children she is almost seen as a "trophy friend" and they often ask to take photos of her with their children outside school. To the children themselves she is simply a bit different and it is mostly her eyes they tease her about.
    Most of the children are from two different cultures - she just happens to be the only white child.

    We are not in Ireland.
