Is that white woman your mother?

A three year old shouted this at my daughter when I came to pick her up from a play area. The child said this with a tone and with a look that I was shocked to see from a child so young. I am used to and prepared for this from adults but I had never had this experience from such a young child. Children ask this question all the time in a very matter of fact, curious way.
