Think clearly, it's easy

Just envisage that a baby is in the arms of an old, disfigured housemaid. The baby is too young to have picked up the prejudices of its elders. So, when it snuggles in that woman's arms, it's responding not to labels in its head; labels like white woman, black woman, ugly, pretty, old, young mother, servant, maid; it's responding to reality. That woman meets the child's need for love, and that is the reality the child responds to.
