@vonapathy: You have a size 3A foot? #dr90210

Was a size 3 foot in the 1930s the same as a size 3 foot today? And is that UK sizing or US sizing? Size 3 doesn't exist in the US. I'm size 5 (US) and I'm having a hard time finding shoes! #dr90210

I think "hating" kids and not "hating" kids is purely cultural. In my ancestral culture, kids are supposed to be included in EVERYTHING, including "grown-up" events (unless said grown up event involves going to a club/bar where kids are not allowed). That way, these kids learn grown-up behaviour early, and are used…

@AwesomeJerkface: I guess it depends on where you're from, because over here, they kind of expect your dad to be a doctor or accountant. #foodracism

My class was full of Jennifers, Karens and Katherines. Interestingly, most of the Jennifers and Karens were of Chinese descent. Katherine was the white girl name. I graduated high school in the late 90s. #namegame

@PrincessOfPower: I have heard stories about Chinese adoptees who've been teased at Hebrew school and have been made to feel uncomfortable there and at synagogue (though sometimes, it's just something like "you're Jewish? Really?" - Look at it this way: a Chinese adoptee is unlikely to get a "you're Catholic? …

Reese can't fool people. I remember reading in Seventeen (circa 1994) that Reese went to an all girls' school and was a debutante. #samanthageimer

I feel very badly for non-white Jews (especially Chinese adoptees) who already face issues with their Hebrew school classes and synagogue. What happens if they decide to go on such a trip? Will people there have issues with them eventually marrying the boys (because these girls aren't white)? I mean, in the west,…

@Trulymadlyme: My mom tried to send me on the "Love Boat" one summer. I went to England instead. #birthrighttrips

@PetiteGal: Just to let people know: "adapting" the culture doesn't mean giving it up entirely. Adapting is meshing the old with the new. When my friend married a couple of years ago, her tea ceremony was after the legal ceremony. The "traditional" way of doing this is to serve tea to the parents BEFORE church. …

Why don't some cultures just adapt theirs so it would fit their new country? I mean, the Thanksgiving turkey at my house is stuffed with Chinese sticky rice. Chinese brides in Canada, the US and other western countries (and some Chinese regions like Hong Kong and Singapore) wear white for the legal ceremony and then…

@shoroko: The issue here is that Catholicism is so ingrained in French (and other traditionally/historically Catholic countries) that they have to be reminded that it's a religious thing. #burqaban

I think my parents are like this - they think that young people who live in basement apartments in their parents' homes are really lucky because they have the independence, yet all the privileges of "living at home." I had some health problems as a kid, and as a result, my parents feel that "living at home" is better…

If the boy can't run, how on EARTH does he survive school? Wouldn't he fail gym (or is is considered "special")? What about the other kids? Wouldn't they make fun of him? #overprotectiveparents

@BytheSea: I don't know about England, but in Canada, you're guaranteed a job of the same level. Job requirements change, so if department restructuring occurs while you're away with the baby, you're not going to get the EXACT SAME JOB back when you return. Titles and responsibilities may change. #maternityleave

@ZemarSea Urchin: You can't group all minorities together because we have a different history. My ethnic history - a child of immigrant parents from Asia is very different from African Americans who have been in the US for generations. My history is also different from multigeneration Asians. About the only thing…

@ZemarSea Urchin: And children of immigrants also have it harder - many are exposed to cultures very different to what they get at home - shocks the 'rents, you know (haven't you seen Bend it like Beckham or My Big Fat Greek Wedding?). Gay kids too. #interracialmarriageinlouisiana

Totally crazy. I hope the couple got someone else to sign it/married in another town.

@thespaceygirl: Because they don't want to acknowledge this as an issue AND because we can compare ourselves to actresses - most who are short or average height. At least that's what people tell me. #selfesteemandmodels

We all obsess over SOMETHING. As most readers here know, I feel really badly about my height - and comments by people (even SHORT PEOPLE) on how I look like I could be in middle school (or worse - that I look like I could be my fiance's daughter from a distance) don't help much. #selfesteemandmodels
