[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I find it interesting that a lot of threads in DCUM seem to be White parents "analyzing" or attemtping to analyze how other races parent. We have threads like this and threads about Asian "Tiger moms."  What's this all about?  I do not think that parents of any race parent "monolithically" and I think that you will find that good and bad parents come in all races.  Why this push to make certain parenting methods the province of one race or another?  What is the point?[/quote]

What's more entertaining a calm, quiet discussion where parties concur with and concede to one another or a knock down drag out opinionated brawl of obtuse assumptions and assessments?  Exactly...the latter.  The threads that revolve around argument are the ones that receive all the attention as everyone wants to add their two cents and be a part of the melee.  Now it may be possible to get some parents fussing back and forth about feeding a friend's child peanut butter without asking whether or not that child is allergic or not - but let's be honest the odds of such a fracas developing are slim to none.  So...since that won't work and is unlikely to garner much attention what's another sure-fire way to rile people up and get a good argument going?  Exactly...race.[/quote]
