[quote=Anonymous]I think that if you're the AA nanny for a white family (I have no idea if this family is white, but given the discussion of types of lice above, it appears so), there is no way to hear this request that doesn't sound like the family thinks you're dirty, and wants to personally inspect your head. No matter how well-meaning this MB is, there is a long history of racism in this country, and a white woman wanting to verify that a black woman is clean and vermin-free, rather than taking that black woman's word for it, is going to be met with suspicion and upset, especially when the white woman is the one who got the lice in the first place, while the black woman wasn't even working. OP, I think you should believe her and let this go.[/quote]
