[quote=Anonymous]To the OP, I'm an AA mom and I agree with you. I put effort into how I allow my ds to look. In our school, the minority are people of color who happen to live in public housing and we are only 1 of 5/6 families of color that don't live in public housing. The majority believe (although things are changing) that the families of color don't try as much with their kids, don't want their kids associating with the others. So I spend a great of time in how my ds and us as a family present ourselves. Some of you can be in disbelief but I live it everyday and as an active PTA mom, last year heard many statements and inferences from parents and the administration that prove this to be true (somehow they seemed to forget I was in the room.) But in the overall picture, we all stereotype others and dress/appearance matter and many times, cause us to form opinions of others. So I say do what you feel you have to do.[/quote]
