[quote=Anonymous]I'd be okay with the ankle bracelet while the baby is too young to grab it. If you don't follow any folk customs, I guarantee your kid will have school assignments about their heritage and traditions and you'll have nothing to talk about. The "food of my people" is 1950s Jello salads. I know what I'm talking about. I had to reach the age of 50 and learn a lot of complicated genealogy before I could authentically lay claim to some European folk costumes that realistically might match something my ancestors wore. In the meantime, I appropriated Austrian trachten, a Dutch girl outfit, and bought a pretty $20 yukata at Uniqlo in Japan that I've never worn because it became politically cancellable to wear cultural clothing associated with different racial groups than your own. If it's medically harmless, I'd allow your elders to do whatever when they are around.[/quote]
