[quote=Anonymous]My brother is white and his wife is Asian. Their kids look Asian. When he is out alone with them he gets these kinds of questions all the time or the assumption that the kids are adopted. We know lots of families with mixed marriages, and I think this is pretty much par for the course. It really does irk me though when people treat someone whom they think is a nanny any less than they would a parent. A caregiver is deserving of respect. Older parents often get the same thing--people assume they are the grandparents. So some people get the trifecta--racist, classist, agist treatment. I'd try not to let it get to you. I don't think people are intentionally trying to be rude, just nosy or simply thoughtless.[/quote]
