“YOU MAKE THE CUTEST WEST INDIAN NANNY”
-ELLE CLAY (April 2010)

for those of you who might not get that joke, it is very common in NEW YORK CITY to hire WEST INDIAN women to care for your children. i was unaware of that fact when i first moved to NYC and assumed all these women of color had just adopted these cute white kids.
