[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^^their is extreme sensitivity among the parents of black and biracial girls that males will grossly assume that their DD's are more sexually open--there is  deep fear that older males of any race will be less respectful of their DD's bodies. There is a cultural history of violation of young black and biracial (AA) girls all over the world aand their families are ultra protective of them and less likely to permit sleepovers for that reason. I am the white mother of a biracial DD--and I have only ever allowed this with  families that I had many social interactions with before--through girl scouts, school volunteering and actual playmates where I had lingered a bit in the home and seen the way the family interacted. Uncles and other non-sibling males who might be sleeping o a couch?! That would be really stupid for anyone to put their DD in that situation.[/quote]

Hmmm I am the PP and [b]actually we are minorities.[/b] I find it interesting that you put into words what I would hesitate to say- that NONE of my friends would allow their DD to go to a sleepover because of this history. We are all highly educated people but are of AA, caribbean or Latin descent, and it is not cultuarlly acceptable to allow your DD to go to a sleepover.[/quote]

[b]DH and I are Latinos[/b]. Our kids only do sleepovers with cousins or very close family friends we have known for years. No exceptions. [/quote]

Are you suggesting that because you come from a foreign culture we're supposed to respect your views?

You're here now. This is America. Assimilate. [/quote]
