[quote=Anonymous]I am thin and white and I've noticed the other thin white moms at our school approach me a lot. Like if I'm at a BTS night and there are 10 families in the room, and 5 are POC and 3 are bigger people, the one other thin, white woman will come sit at my table. I do think it's implicit bias and I am sure I do it too, but because I've noticed it in others I try to make a conscious choice NOT to do this. But I'm not really friends with other parents at our school. As others have pointed out, those friendships can get complicated quickly and I don't want it to impact my kid. So I keep it cordial but don't socialize. My friend group is pretty diverse, including in body size, and is drawn mostly from friends from grad school and the years after. Many of us are mons now, but that's not how we became friends.[/quote]
