[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow I did not expect this to have so many responses! To update, I spoke with the other mom and we agreed that the girls will order matching outfits and even shoes online so they can have their twin idea. I will braid my daughter's hair into pigtails and I will offer to add ribbons in the same color as her friend's beads. Then we will do a twin day and they can choose their activities they want to do, like a project or ice cream. I already have talked to my daughter about her hair being a different kind and that the braids will not work the same.

Still not comfortable with this. Strays too close to the line.[/quote]

You can't be serious.  [/quote]

I don’t think the PP is.  I do appreciate that this thread has taken a humorous turn.  The initial idea-that braids on a white child- isn’t “culturally appropriate” is so ridiculous on its own, that I thought OP was a troll.

I cannot even imagine thinking a bunch of small braids [b]on a child [/b]is offensive.  I’m curious about the type of person who even thinks this.  I don’t think they have good intentions. I just don’t. Sounds like they’re trying to stir up shit.

Something about the OP is off. Making small things into “racial” questions makes me feel uneasy.

On a small child or on an adult. Being uncomfortable with a history of bodies being policed doesn't mean the answer is to police more bodies.[/quote]
