[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just curious. Are the cake only posters all white? I'm south Asian and we always serve food at all of our kids parties. We go so far as to have adult food and kid food. Around here it seems that it's pretty common for mainly white folks to serve cake and possibly chips with juice boxes. [/quote]

Persian poster here and I agree with you - that we always serve food at all of our kid parties. Both a kid-friendly option and a heartier adult option. The cake-only parties mainly seem to be white families. I don't know if it's a cultural thing, but Persians love feeding people and I don't know that I've ever been to a birthday where they haven't had a great spread. [/quote]

Another ethnic parent here that serves lots and lots of food. I also feed kids that come over for play dates full meals. White parents are very appreciative and always compliment/thank us for great food, but they continue on with their cake only parties. One would think they would be shamed into reciprocating, but the boldness of pigging out at our parties where they bring the entire family and then invite us over only to serve cheap cake and water is appalling.

WASP here and I always serve tons of food at parties, so don't blame this on white people.  I too get annoyed when people don't serve enough food and assume they are trying to be cheap.  Just no.  Best kids birthday party I went to was catered by Guapos, with a quesadilla and taco bar and margarita machine!!!! So much food.  [/quote]
