[quote=Anonymous]I completely agree with you OP because my husband and I and our kids look stereotypically like “brown Latinos”. I really thought it would be better for my kids in their supposedly liberal upper middle class public school. I am continually appalled at how so many teachers and other parents have negative stereotypes of them. So many negative assumptions or surprise that they speak English fluently, that they do well academically, that we are college graduates, etc. I could go on and on. They are never placed in the highest reading groups at the beginning because of negative assumptions by their teachers who then are shocked and call us telling us we should aim high and they should go to college and maybe not even a community college. Meanwhile my brother married someone extremely light skinned. His kids mark Latino but look like the are generic white and face none of the discrimination my kids face.[/quote]
