[quote=Anonymous]16:30, I am 16:10, and I get what you are saying.  The reason I said it is harsh is because of the generalization.  That's probably why someone said you were racist, which I don't think is necessarily true.  It just seems harsh to say "you don't see a lot of black families with nannies is because black families do X". Maybe some do, but we didn't and wouldn't.  In fact, precisely because we didn't know what to expect, I researched very carefully and asked a lot of people with nannies.  That's not to say that every black employer does the same, I just think generalizations are really harsh and DCUM is famous for that kind of snap judgment in a bad way.  If your reasoning was applied across the board, then one look around DCUM says white MBs are all cheap too, and abusive employers and bad parents who hate spending time with their own kids too.  And I like to think that is not the case, and no one would posit that that is why there are few white MBs in any given place (actually, people might, since this is DCUM, after all).  I tried to respond based on my family without saying what that means for everyone of the race because of that.  To me, to do anything else just seems too hasty to judge, that's all I mean when I said your generalization on that front seemed harsh.[/quote]
