Who else has seen parents raising their children to fit stereotypes?

Designer labels on kids, period.

no! thats insane
like crazy insane
like insane asilame insane!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Idiots producing more idiots lol…...Growing up with some old-fashioned people, sometimes I was told ‘Black people don’t swim’, or ‘Black people don’t snowboard…’.

Sometimes, but not very often. What I usually see are parents who are just trying to do the right things for their kids.

uh, do i have to be the dick that says stereotypes exist for a reason?

Always – little girls in dresses with dolls, little boys with baseball mits.

Where I work, we sell these funky little finger puppets for a buck each. We have a bunch that are various kinds of fairies. A couple came in who were buying lots of stuff and the woman picked one of these fairies up and said that their son would like it. The man then said, “We have to teach him that’s not for him.” I was stunned. If I had been able to recover, I may have said something to him, so it’s probably a good thing I didn’t. Of course, he had told me and my manager earlier that he DJ’s at a strip club. Surprise surprise.

@iamthemob: What I find most interesting is that both little girls and little boys play with dolls and both play sports. The difference is that a little boy’s doll is an action figure and a little girl may be a gymnast rather than a baseball player.

I have!

Of course, generally speaking that’s what happens instead of parenting.

If the parents are idiots the kids will be idiots. I know it sounds wrong but kids are sponges and they absorb whatever they see and their parents behavior.

Well….......there are those parents who insist their twins act like a tandem, two ends of a book end and not as single people.

@Hypocrisy_Central Yes, I’ve seen that too. It’s disturbing.
