I was thinking specifically of the "are only white people human" question. Generally, something has gone a bit wrong if you are still confused about the existence of and humanity of people of different skin color at age 5.

Also, don't knock five-year-olds. They ask a ton of good questions. Often in very simplified ways, but with a little more thought behind them than the endless whys of a two-year-old.

Anyway, my point was that all the questions should be in-bounds when honest, and all should be out-of-bounds when dishonest (since any of them can be used to stoke hatred).
