Now I bet you're thinking,

Queue clichéd "mind blown" GIF:

Now, remember this kid is very tiny. So let's try not to critique her with the "not seeing race is not a solution to racism — because it erases the very important ways in which ethnicity and multiculturalism are linked in this country." Let's just go ahead and be impressed and call it a day.

Although, actually, I'm going to lob that critique I just tongue-in-cheekly made at the over 20k people who retweeted this. OK, critique  successfully lobbed. Moving on.

Needless to say, Twitter blew up.

This is either a heart or a butt. I choose a butt.

The philosophers crawled out of the woodwork.

And then the literalists followed (who might actually be the satirists).
