[quote=Anonymous]There was another post on GP that addressed children doing the Asian smirk.  I did not know there was a name for it until I read that post.  My nanny taught this to my young children and they love her, so they think it must be okay if she is doing it and she is Asian.  It is how young children think.  They have no understanding or capability to understand that only Asian people can do it.  A poster on the other thread mentioned it is like an AA person using the N word.  We don't use hateful expressions or words in our house, no matter who it is.  We don't even use the word hate - it is such a strong word.  The nanny dismisses it as if it is okay.  How can she not realize she is teaching the children hate?  I find it appalling that she would go against what the parents are teaching their children in the realm of beliefs and actions toward others.  In other words, we are not helicopter or whatever they call it these days.  But to teach our children to hate is unacceptable.  I feel like she is deliberately dismissing how to teach our children to be socially acceptable, it seems like a joke to her.  Would this be deliberate?  Would this be subconscious hate on her part?  How do we send the message that certain important issues, such as hate, are non-negotiable?  I'm appalled, disgusted and really disappointed. [/quote]
