[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I still chortle at the memory of the African American ladies of our daycare telling my Asian husband, who was responsible for pick-up and drop-off, that they didn't want my 6 months old son dressed in pink girly outfits.

The back story is that at the second trimester ultrasound, we were told he was a girl. Then he was born premature (no other ultrasound), but my aunt had already sent us pink outfits, and we'd already bought a pink stroller. So he went to daycare with a variety of different boy and girl outfits. As if we cared! And he certainly didn't!

People are weird. You laugh. It's fine.

We did abandon this daycare shortly thereafter, because they weren't very good, and the clothes issue was the just the tip of the iceberg.

I don't understand what race has to do with this?  [/quote]

PP you replied to. Because we are not American, and I noticed that these African-Americans ladies were a little more socially conservative than the Caucasian-Americans we met in our Montgomery County, MD, neighborhood. When our kids went to preschool, there was also a group of African-American and South American teachers who seemed much more intent on perpetuating gender stereotypes than their Caucasian-American counterparts.

We are non-US Asian. Our families back home are VERY conservative, but we expect it from them. Not from people from the US east coast, so much.

So it was kind of funny!
