Refused Racist Baby Shower Game
I am 6 months pregnant & due to have a baby shower in the next few weeks. The important context is that I am super, can’t spent more than 20 minutes in the sun, white British & my partner is British Indian.
My friends were discussing games to play on the day & one suggested it ‘would be fun’ to play a version of her workplaces tea chart – They have a dulux paint chart that they mark their name against for what colour they like their tea/coffee to be. The point being to make the tea run easier when people are in the office. For that context, I think that’s actually a great idea.
Her suggestion was that people place bets using the same scale of paint chart (from cream to dark brown) on what skin colour my child will have.
NOW I am not on board with this, at a minimum is odd & at a maximum it’s pretty bloody racist. I’m being accused of being over sensitive for not wanting to play a ‘fun, harmless’ game. My partner also thinks it’s very odd & is against it being played.
AITA for really not being into it/banning it as a game?
