What?? I'm 40+ yo Asian and I had sleepovers all the time growing up in my home country.  Not just a white thing. [/quote]

I am so fascinated by this because my 8yo daughter's BFF is Asian and her mom told me no sleepovers because Asians don't do sleepovers. I have always wanted to follow up and ask why but felt weird about it, she was kind of firm and final. The mom is American so it's not an issue of another country's culture. [/quote]

The above is the reason why. White culture is incredibly selfish and exclusionary. The children are the same. Combine that with their poorly developed sense of hospitality and inclusion and it is a disaster waiting to happen.  I worry that my kids will be bullied, injured, defamed or sexually exploited in some way. [/quote]

That story is about nasty 11 year olds and is not common at all.  And I don’t understand the White culture reference.

Don’t  accept any sleepovers if you don’t know every kid.  If it’s her friends you shouldn’t have to worry about bullying, injury, defamation or sexual assault.  Don’t put that type of irrational fear on your kids. [/quote]
