Could our daughter ever wear this without it being racist?

Your question made me think of a couple of not-the-same-but-similar situations in my own family. The closest comparison might be when my birth father returned from a trip to Korea and gave hanbok to everyone in the family, including the non-Koreans. As in your case, an individual was the giver of a cultural item they really wanted to share in the spirit of family/friendship.

Should I be concerned with these things given their daughter’s age? If I should be, is there a good way to point this out to her parents without making them upset? No one likes hearing anything negative about their child, and I certainly don’t want to upset a pregnant woman .I really don’t think you always need to point out your friend’s child’s errors or correct her speech, especially when her parents are right there.
