white pride, you're an american
today I was reading the little kids this book about Daddies. It was called the "Daddy book".
it was really stereotypical and kind of racist... like in one part it said "Some daddies are white, some daddies are black, some daddies are red, some daddies are yellow" and in the picture of all the daddies, the red daddy was like REALLY red. I found that pretty offensive. Apparently this book was from the 50's.. but it's pretty messed up. It talked about the fucking stereotypical jobs that "fathers" have, and how when they come from work they eat meals (most likely made by the wife) and it made fun of men who cook and clean and all that stuff. I felt really REALLY weird reading it to these kids. I mean, I bet people read books like this to them all the time, and it will probably put all these stereotypical images of families and people and how they're supposed to act in their heads. These are really cool kids too and they don't need to be read garbage like that.
I think my native american studies class is making me think more about stereotypes, but even if I weren't taking that class I'd still take note of this awful book of american stereotypes.
that's about the only noteable thought I've had all day, so I thought I'd share.
