I don't think this subject comes up very often with small children. "Discrimination" is just a probabilistic decision made wherever imperfect knowledge exists. That is, you look at the demographics of a neighborhood before moving there, knowing full well that it's not an ideal measure. Again, what can children do about such a thing?
The OP seemed to be setting up a scenario in which his parents said, "...and others disagree" and so made themselves seem "truthful". That's halfway to getting to the real truth which is, "We ourselves are completely without a clue, but prefer Yahweh over Ganesh because an elephant head is bullcrap a mite too obvious for our tastes. Others disagree."
The real secret is that truth doesn't matter too much unless it involves something that can damage you. God, it just so happens, is not among the things that can damage you. And so, feel free to believe whatever you want.
