[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Another ignorant post? Say it isn't so..... No one cares that your children look Latino. No one cares if your child wore his underwear outside of his pants. No one cares but YOU. Being dressed well does not equal good behavior. People comment on your child's behavior because they have good behavior. Why do you feel as though you have something to prove through your children? If you were so concerned about making sure your Latino looking children were not looking "Latino," maybe you should not have reproduced with one. Feel sorry for your kids OP. You are far too uptight. Let your children have FUN. It won't hurt. [/quote]

Gotta. disagree. People by nature stereotype. It's how our minds store information for easier retrieval. It takes effort to not let stereotypes affect our judgment and actions. And unfortunately many  people are too lazy or uncaring to do that.  A man dressed in a suit is going to get treated better than a man dressed in sweatpants. Attractive people get better jobs and earn more than their equally-talented but more homely counterparts. Ethnicity is certainly not exempt. People are quick to shamelessly judge. What the OP is experiencing is likely true. Sad, but true. [/quote]
