You can talk and talk about things, but society just ... conveys these things.<br /><br />You might have them play around with <a href="https://implicit.harvard.edu/implicit/demo/selectatest.html" rel="nofollow">Project Implicit</a>, to reveal to themselves their prejudices. Or, you might do so yourself - it's quite revealing (and disturbing).<br /><br />As to Sapphire: I'm sure that grandma will succeed in allowing her to be who she wants to be, regardless of whether she's exposed to Barbies early in life, because grandma will have the good sense to mock the unreality of her body shape and any number of other attributes. :)David T.
