I really wanted to thank you for this. I am super-conscious of this as a woman who babywears, etc., and is white and appears, if not always white to other people (I get passed as Latina, etc.), then at least middle-class-ish and American-born. And this is meaningful when I pass an East African guy giving me the thumbs up for having my toddler on my back because "that is how we do it in my country"... while he pushes a baby in an umbrella stroller. Because when I do it, no white person thinks of me as backwards and weird and unwilling to assimilate. No, it's new and innovative and clever... or at least quirkily hippie-ish. But when POC, and especially native or immigrant POC do it... Yeah. I am acutely aware of my privilege in this. This also seems relevant: http://hoodfeminism.com/2013/11/05/using-woc-in-t...
