[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Another ignorant post? Say it isn't so..... No one cares that your children look Latino. No one cares if your child wore his underwear outside of his pants. No one cares but YOU. Being dressed well does not equal good behavior. People comment on your child's behavior because they have good behavior. Why do you feel as though you have something to prove through your children? If you were so concerned about making sure your Latino looking children were not looking "Latino," maybe you should not have reproduced with one. Feel sorry for your kids OP. You are far too uptight. Let your children have FUN. It won't hurt. [/quote]
Yes, you are correct - you wrote another ignorant post.  It's written from the perspective of a rich, white person.

Sadly, years ago, I would have written your post also and the worst part is I am a parent of a Latino child.  Once my kid entered elementary school and the cutesy toddler/preschool phase was over, people no longer had as many smiles or sweet things. People have actually said to me "oh you dress your child so nicely" It's such a weird comment as she is dressed identical to her peers in Mini Boden and Hanna Anderson.  The expectation is that I would put her in Walmart glitter clothing.
