OP,

I don't understand why PPs are accusing you of racism and not actually acknowledging that there is a significant logistical and possibly safety issue here (not allowing parent coaches inside the house). The parents trying to change the rules of these teams are being extremely rude, in my opinion. And I'm a foreigner myself - I'm not racist towards a particular group.

I haven't experienced this with my kids, so hopefully other PPs will chime in with helpful advice. My children are younger and so far we've only had supervised playdates with DD's friends who have Indian heritage.

Because the "significant logistical and possibly safety issue" should not be attributed to the ethnic group but to this family.  And OP is racist for attempting to do this.  And ridiculous because she posts here instead if raising it with the family or teacher.[/quote]

Come on, you guys are being ridiculous. OP is posting about this issue because within the span of more than a decade, she has experienced this only with Indian parents. So it definitely makes sense to mention it in her description, because she is asking herself whether there is a cultural thing here - I would too, in her shoes. The only reason you find this unbelievable is that you haven't experienced it yourself. However, this does not make her post racist!

Or perhaps there is one angry poster sock-puppetting this thread.
