1) The story the author was trying to tell how people judge people by the color of their skin. Her daughter was born lighter than her, eventhough she has a darker skin complexion. even though someone may not look like their race you never know and should never say anything you wouldnt want people to say about you. When she wished her daughter was darker for the sake of other people she was concerning her self with other peoples problems and not her own. If she loves her daughter she should not care what people say.
2) I have never really been discriminated against. I am half hispanic and people think i am lying when I tell them that. When I wear shirts of my country people give me mean stares and think i am mocking the culture. People shouldnt judge a book by its cover. just because i am only half hispanic, my skin is lighter and i do not speak the language people see me as being "fake". i have learned to ignore their comments and know that only ignorant people dont except other people and who they are

dude, im a little confused....you said you were never really discriminated against.....but then you described the way people judged you without knowing the truth.....anywayz either way i feel that people have a lot of time on their hands to point out other peoples mistakes and butt into others lives....i mean its our job to express ourself to them and then if they dont believe us "who cares." But i feel that you do the right thing by trying to explain yourself first. Atleast you try.
i think the author does love her daughter, but like any parent you try to stop the hurt that your child might experience. i agree with fali920, it seems you have had a little discrimination in your life, but you are dealing with it.
