[quote=Anonymous]I have the advantage of looking white but being an educated Hispanic nanny. It truly depends on your area but I never lose desirable jobs. I have had a few families meet me and tell me they are looking for a native speaker. when I tell them I'm fluent, they tell me they want a Hispanic women. They are flabbergasted when I inform them I am indeed 100% Hispanic and we come in all shades. Usually, those are the families who are trying to find someone to take advantage of but attempt to word it so they don't sound like assholes. They can't straight out say they want an illegal immigrant.

In this country, being non-white is overall a huge disadvantage and having seen/felt the ignorance and racism, there is no denying it. If you are losing jobs, than they weren't great jobs to begin with or you live in area that is saturated with cheaper options that drive prices down. Most nannies where I live make the same amount no matter their race or legal status, higher pay is given for experience and education.[/quote]
