Kristen Bell on raising anti-racist kids
07 June, 2020
Actress Kristen Bell says she actually is raising her two daughters to be "anti-racists", adding that she doesn't care about their sexual choi-ces. Within an interview with Channel Q, the actress took a vow to keep her two daughters -- Lincoln, seven, and Delta, five -- as anti-racists, reports dailymail.co.uk. "
When we send them in to the world, they will be formidable, opinionated, kind, morally-compassed women, and I'm so grateful for that," said the 39-year-old star. Bell went on to admit that when it comes to her daughters' choices regarding careers or their sexual orientation, she doesn't care. She asserted that she wants to "love them" because they are.
"I understand that I don't care what my girls grow up to be in their career, what their sexual choices are going to be, what their love choices will be. I simply want to love them. Because we have one ride on this planet and what's the friggin' point of spending it hating?" she said. Bell feels "love is never something you challenge, and that you have to consider sameness if you are to have any happiness in your life".
"Why would I care who loves who? That isn't my business", she added.Discussing raising anti-racist children, Bell said: "I will raise anti-racists. My hubby (Dax Shepard) and I are incredibly opinionated; we don't stop talking.
Our kids are a nightmare. They're a nightmare because they will tell you your opinion.""We constantly joke about the actual fact that we're raising two girls that they're going to be a nightmare for 18 years," added the 'Frozen' actress.
