[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm of the opinion that accepting and wanting hand me downs for your children is a very American thing. One American friend of mine brought over a huge bag of hand me downs to her Indian friend's home. The Indian friend, who was from an affluent family, was completely offended, got angry with my American friend, and told her, "Pick up that bag of old clothes and get it out of my house." My American friend left sobbing. I think lots of people who don't accept hand me downs are people from certain cultures where that's frowned upon.[/quote]

It must be DCUM, there's someone else bashing and making generalizations about Indian people.  Give it up, bitch.[/quote]

I have to agree with this. I'm married to a SA guy. They have something against used stuff. [/quote]

Sorry sweetie, I'm South Asian, too, and and am all for hand me downs.  Hell, half of what I had growing up was hand me downs.  Maybe your husband is just rich and snobby.[/quote]
