Article requires you to pay to read the response by the writer, but the letter sent in is free to read.

My husband and I (we’re white) have a 2-year-old daughter and are doing our very best to be anti-racist parents. We’re making sure she has lots of multiracial dolls, only consumes books and TV shows with diverse characters, has no problematic Halloween costumes, and so on. But when we try to discuss issues like structural racism, intersectionality, or White fragility, she doesn’t seem at all interested. She often walks away, asks for a cookie, or even falls asleep! Have we screwed up somehow? Has society’s disdain for the perspectives of marginalized people already infected her? How do we get her to appreciate the urgency of the conversation around deconstructing white supremacy? —Anti-Racist Mom

I’m 99% sure they fed the troll.

I found the slate response on Twitter. They seemed confident it was a troll, although they put a little "if you are really serious" paragraph at the end:

I may hate Slate in general, but I can't complain with this response. That's just about exactly how I would have handled it.
