HC me and a friend were discussing this?
HC are these standards arbitrary?
HC this always sparks an interesting discussion?
HC it's CLEARLY not 'acting white' because we have come across white folks who don't adhere to these 'rules?'
HC sooooo, where do they come from?
HC for the record, I have taken charm classes?
HC it was for a cotillion?
HC I brought my cotillion scrapbook to the school so that my girls could see that I'm not trying to get them to do something that I haven't already done myself?

HC honestly, I'm not sure where such standards come from?
HC they might be rather arbitrary?
HC I got a lot of these type things from my mother, older sister and godmother, by osmosis?
HC that I think that older generations, regardless of race, are more into decorum and poise?
HC it's good that you brought your scrapbook to your girlinas?
