[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son has three BFFs.  One is higher SES on average, one similar, and one below.  Our son is of mixed heritage (Asian/White), 2 BFFs are white, one is AA.  I love their friendship and that they all love each other, but I do get uncomfortable knowing that the lower SES child is always missing from bday parties.  I don't think the child is excluded but rather I think the mother would feel out of place.  I can relate, knowing that most parents are white and I am not, but I just can't understand how you make it such a big deal that you hold back your kid from celebrating outside of school with his buddies.  That's what the big girl panties are for.  As a minority, I know that it's hard to be odd man out, but put on a smile, realize people want to get to know you, and your kid loves his friends!  Encourage it, my God, and hope the hostess offers you something tasty.[/quote

PP..did you know that SOME whites tend to hold Asians in higher regard than Blacks?  Sad, but true.[/quote]
