Inappropriate????

There is a difference between "white" and all of the other cultural groups you mentioned. "White" is not a culture! White is a skin colour. If someone is asking for a Pakistani caregiver, it is because they want someone who speaks their language, cooks their kind of food, shares cultural and religious beliefs etc. By asking for a "white" nanny, the person is only assuring themselves of skin colour...not culture, not religion, not type of foods, etc. The English speaking, I can understand...no issue with that. But asking for a "white" person is really really discriminatory. A person with brown skin who was born here and speaks English could just as easily fit with the cultural values of the family.

I am new here and don't want to cause any trouble but I have seen ads of kijiji for pakistani nanny wanted, filipino nanny wanted, etc. Why does no one get upset about this? Reverse discrimination against "white" people runs rampant in todays society especially in large multicultural cities.
