Clearly.<br />I have no idea how her obviously-racist-by-her-own-words-even-though-she-can't-see-it-self's blog post relates to one about a mama of a brown kid assuming the thoughts of others.

I've got my stereo types to deal with - that I'm quiet, that I'm smart, I should have an accent - whatever prejudgments people make.<br /><br />So I've been thinking about these issues A LOT.
