[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, wear what you want. If you feel oppressed by a stray comment about your shirt color, seek professional help. [/quote] Where did I say I feel oppressed? I think it's stupid that it's ok to comment on what someone's wearing. Elementary school, work, whatever. My kid isn't Irish...why do I need to buy him a shirt so he doesn't stick out? Why is this such a thing?[/quote] Do you live in an area/attend a school with a very large Catholic and Irish community? If so, I'd just go with it and stop complaining. My white kid attends a school that is like 65% black. She participates in cultural traditions that she probably wouldn't participate in if she was going to a majority-white school. We don't view it as burdensome -- it's part of being a minority and it's an opportunity to learn about a background different from your own.[/quote]
