Being open to diversity is something which shouldn't be acquired once adult, but should be a way of life, hence be part of life from the very first years. I read that babies as young as 2 years old can already spot differences in race. Because I use it, I recommend a game called Diversity! from a company called 4bambini (www.4bambini.com) which teaches kids from 3 (ours is 4 now) in simple words some concepts of diversity - simple questions and answers board game. Our son loves it and we have real dialogs about the topic while we play (and I let him win :-). Peace!
