[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do other kids pick on your DD because she is white? [/quote] OP already clarified that many of her DDs classmates are actually as white as she is. Main different is that they speak Spanish while being white. Go figure.[/quote] Not again...[/quote] This PP hews strictly to the 2000 census definitions of race and ethnicity, lol. Somehow I doubt that OP's school is full of white-identified Hispanics. [b] But who knows, maybe there is a heretofore unknown pocket of Spaniards in some Title I school somewhere in DCPS.[/b] [/quote] What a display of ignorance. The majority of US-born Hispanics identify themselves as white. The majority of Latin American-born Hispanics identify themselves as white. Number 2 self-identification, for both cases, is white mixed with indigenous (called "mestizo" in Spanish). All of which explains why close to Hispanic person would ever "pick on your DD because she is white." Someone here needs to actually talk to a few more Hispanics/ Latinos. We are not figments of your little imagination. 55 million and counting![/quote] NP here. That statistic is interesting, but in defense of the PPs I have to say that either those 50% of Hispanics identifying as "white" aren't necessarily found at DCPS Title 1 schools, or self-identification and reality don't necessarily match up, because none of the Latinos in my kid's class look like they are of purely Spanish (i.e. white) descent. They all look mestizo.[/quote]
