kkktookmybabyaway 0 Report post Posted September 19, 2003 http://pub62.ezboard.com/ffeministparentsf...opicID=40.topic yesterday nia said oh look a brown baby and a white baby. It bothered me a great deal, but I only said well that baby isn't white, its more of a pinky colour isn't it? Lame. She must have got this from nursery because I've neverr talked to her about it. But I'm surprised because they tend to be very politically correct, and while the children there are predominantly white, there are a number of black and asian (another crap term I know) children. So I'm just checking whether this 'brown' thing has passed me by. To the best of my knowledge (and as a social reseracher I cond=sider myself pretty up on these subjects lol) 'black' was still the acceptable term. I know my cousins hated being called brown and wanted to be called black. Anyway, guess I'm asking whether you would have explained to a 2.5 yr old that the acceptable term is black? I guess thats why I took issue with the white baby... Perhaps I'm thinking about it too much Oh lord. I shudder to think what these kids will be like 16 years from now...

I remember one time back in school my journalism teacher was trying to describe a person to a student he was supposed to interview. This guy was the only black teacher in the place, but she wasn't saying the "b" work when trying to describe him. Good times... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They kept trying to describe this girl and I just said "Oh, you mean the black girl." They were like "Y..yeah..." Good times indeed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
