[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DS attends a NW DC private.

Does it make me a world-class idiot to note that not one single Caucasian male in his class is preppy?  All, including DS, have [b]appearances that are more skater-edgy-sloppy-rocker. A lot of the white boys have longish hair.[/b]  Is this horrifically insulting to note?  Offensive to all of you that don't know my DS or what school I"m talking about?

If it is not -- and come on, you know it's neither offensive nor insulting for me to say this fact  -- then why is it insulting to note that the black kids in DS class ARE INDEED preppy?  Seriously, for whatever reason, they are.  Argyle vests, pink-n-green, Lacoste, you name it.

I'm not the original offensive PP, BTW.  I was just thinking about DS's class while reading along.[/quote]

By the way, what is the shelf life of this Brady Bunch/Duran Duran fusion look for teenage boys??  I hope well before my kids are of age to own their appearance.  It is the worst ever.  Those kids look terrible.[/quote]
